This looks great! I'm always happy to see new, independent outlets pursuing non-ads support models.

This is great news! It's a very charming other game.
Fun fact- Beast Breaker is the first review key I ever got. Excited to see it reach a wider audience (and support its devs more directly)!

📽️ New movie review! I just watched SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (for the 2nd time).
david.reviews: Shakespeare in Love
★★★★: Beautiful costuming and some delightful performances make this a great watch. The story is sweet, too. The leads are cute together.
I liked the framing with the production of Romeo & Juliet. W...

📽️ New movie review! I just watched THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT (for the 1st* time).
david.reviews: The Five-Year Engagement
★★★★: Is more of a "problem play" than any other genre, really. It's a romcom, but there's a lot of turbulence along the way. Blisteringly funny though, and full of bit parts for actors that were (or ...

I've played 3/4 of these and they're a blast! Big Hops seems to be in great company.
BIG HOPS is OUT NOW and to celebrate: meet the Animal Adventurers Bundle. 4 amazing games about being a cute critter exploring a big world. 🐸🐊🐦😻

📽️ New movie review! I just watched BLACK BAG (for the 2nd time).

📽️ New movie review! I just watched TRAINWRECK (for the 3rd time).
david.reviews: Trainwreck
★★★☆: Funny enough, but tonally inconsistent and it's comedy did a disservice to its drama. Needed more LeBron.

🕹️🎮 New videogame review! I just finished playing ASTRO BOT.

★★★★: A feel-good classic. Though, and maybe I'm just getting old, it's sort of crazy how irresponsible everyone in this movie is and how it all gets waved away because of how good their concert is. U...

📽️ New movie review! I just watched NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T (for the 1st time).
david.reviews: Now You See Me: Now You Don't
★★★☆: Leans heavy on the cheese and is a little crowded, character wise, but felt more coherent than the last movie. Definitely sticks with the theme of "makes sense until you think about it too much"...

📽️ New movie review! I just watched NOW YOU SEE ME (for the 3rd time).
david.reviews: Now You See Me
★★★☆: All flash and little bang. It remains a fun watch, you just can't think about the plot points too much. Instead, sit back and enjoy the ride for what it is, not what it could be.

★★☆☆: Murderers row of a cast, but the storylines were underbaked to fit everyone. I like Garry Marshall schlock, but even this was a little heavy handed.
