I love it when you get to swallow people/kids swimming around in the oceans. It's actually pretty funny. There are even minor boss battles from what I've played. There are three different types of gameplay I've seen so far from 8 levels: 1) sort of platforming like levels, 2) time trial, and 3) blowing up drills.

I'm only at zone 7 of America. I think the game is really easy, mindless fun. Maybe it'll get more challenging later. So far you either race agaisnt the clock or against the health meter, don't really have any chance to kind explore. That's a shame because the art and environment looks really good.

Maybe I don't understand the scoring system right now but it seems pointless. No online leaderboards, and no way of telling if you've done well or not (i'm thinking of angry birds where you get 3 stars if you completed everything).

I bought it cause it looks cute and my nephew loves shark. I think it's worth the $5 purchase.

So are the comparisons to Joe Danger just in art style and presentation and have nothing to do with difficulty?

I haven't played Joe Danger so i can't really tell you.

I took a gamble and bought Sunflowers for the Vita. To be honest, I really like it. Its a simple concept. You hold the vita longways and at the top of the screen there is a sun. You move the sun side to side and when you tap on it it drops rays of light. Clouds float by underneath and you have to get the rays through the clouds to make water for the flowers below. Direct sunlight burns the flowers and you have to water them quickly or else you lose a life.

As the flowers grow (after a few drops of water), they disappear and go into your garden. As you advance, gray clouds float by which drop lightning that burns the flowers. Other weather effects happen like an ice storm, wind, and so on.

You can mate the flowers and discover new ones as well.

Not a bad little game for under $5. Played for a half hour so far and got 9 trophies. The rest seem like they will take a little grinding.

Here's that video of Retro City Rampage that I recorded last night:

Just want to say the thread title is kinda misleading. Makes it seems like you get $20 back in October.

Yes / No, You only have so much title space and the title is accurate. Honestly you should just buy what you want when you want it if it's a money thing.

Spend $100, Get $20 Back.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I guess he could put in October after the spend $100, but people will still assume they get the $20 back in October anyways. It doesn't matter.

Hey Tanuki are you gonna run your own Twitch channel soon?

get $20 back in November

That wont work either, because if it's titled "Spend $100, Get $20 back in November" that implies that the promotion is going on in November. For it to be crystal clear, it would be titled "Spend $100 in October, Get $20 back in November". But that would take up the entire name of the thread, and as such isn't really rational to do. The way Frisky has it worded is fine. Get over it.

You guys are acting like im making a big deal over it, just stated it. Idk how long the thread title can be. I couldnt care less, just looking out for people who may not have heard of the deal yet.

If you want to get smart about it, it could say "Spend $100 in Oct, Get $20 in Nov"

Not a big deal but all he has to do is move "in October" behind $100.

Retro City Rampage reminds me so much of my childhood. So awesome

I guess. But that still implies you get the $20 back in October, which you don't, and was Jack_Frost's original problem.

And I'm not saying it's a big deal, I'm just saying it's not really necessary. It, like all the deals Frisky posts, is further elaborated in the OP anyways, not leaving much room for confusion.

And why the isn't Toejam & Earl Vita compatible? I really have no interest in playing the games on my PS3.

Not sure how you could jump to that conclusion. I haven't seen anything that says it isn't.

Nice. LOVED T&E when I was a kid. Problem is this (at least for me) I bought a few other Sega games when they released only to have buyers remorse a month or so later when they went on sale for a buck, or were free from plus. Happened a few times now. Its only $5, sure, but that's $5 I could have used on another game...

The amount of characters I get to write the title with is no friend to grammar and specificity. I guess this is a little better for nitpicking's sake.

SEGA's history speaks for itself, none of the games they've re-released have been playable on Vita unless specifically mentioned so, like with Jet Set Radio. The Revenge of Shinobi, currently on sale, being a fine example of my point.
