Tmesis. Breaking up a word and inserting another word.

Like absolutely becomes....

Abso-bloody-lutely.

Don't think it has to be a swear word, but it seems most common. :)

If you can forgive the self promotion and enjoy platformers. Our game has (an admittedly challenging) couch coop mode.

With mixed results I've used it for summarising the plots of books if I'm about to go back into a book series I've not read for a while.

Just my of 2 cents...

AntennaPod (podcast client)

Feeder (RSS reader)

Vinyl (simple music player that has all the features I need, easy playlist management and sleep timer)

Not really unique, but I started carrying small Bluetooth earphones on my keyring. They are excellent for listening to audiobooks etc when doing solo boring tasks like food shopping etc.

Thanks very much, that's great to hear.

Its a retro inspired, colour swapping platformer. Lots of variety and fun to be had.

Fight Club, book is decent but the film seems a more complete package.

Thanks so much.... For the purchase and the feedback. Pricing is another mine field - too cheap and people think it is low quality too much and people expect more than just a simple platformer.

I agree and that was mostly our thinking when we decided to not put out a demo at the start (and also the quite cheap asking price) I suppose the benefits of a demo would be...

Not everyone knows about steams refund policy

The gameplay can make it look quite a frustrating game (which it can be at times, but we have really tried to work around this) so a demo might encourage people to try it out and hopefully show them its tough but fair. (And even generous in places)

Not sure this all adds up to a strong argument either way but just thinking it over.

I think the biggest problem has always been visibility in general, we are terrible at promotion and left it very very late.

Not a bad idea, might do it when we add it to itch properly. (And hopefully a Linux build)

Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.

I really enjoyed 'Mindhorn'

If you enjoy UK comedy stuff

Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.
