Tube is this game going to be available through xbla and I I guess the PSN? If so is it also out on them/when will it he available on these sources?

Tube

IT WILL BE OUT ON XBLIG SOOOOOOOOON. I believe the date is July 10th and if someone corrects me I will edit this post and pretend I got it right.

Fyndir

CONFIRMATION: Game is excellent, Steam deal for increased value if purchased before July 2nd also excellent.

£2.99 for two games that everyone has raved about and a third that is too new for anyone to have raved about yet?

But we don't get XBLIG.

Anialos

Got this hot stuff as soon as I could. $5 for three games? Awww hells yah. Gonna get all the sweet cheevos.

Darmak

This game is fucking awesome you guys, go buy it/steal your grandmother's debit card to buy it.

Dark Raven X

As someone terrible enough to have never played Episode I and II, I can honestly say it hasn't impacted too much on this one!

I'm assuming all this crazy god killing stuff happened earlier. Maybe not! It's probably funnier left ambiguous. :P

Also the dialogue is sharp like lemon razors.

Romanian My Escutcheon

Bought it on Steam, even though I also bought XBL Funbux exclusively for this game.

I will probably end up buying it there too.

I am a consumer whore.

Is there a limit to the number of entries?

COMPETITION OVER. PRIZES DISTRIBUTED. TEARS OF THE FALLEN HARVESTED FOR MY GLORY.

godmode

Are you going to post the winning pieces? Just curious.

Romanian My Escutcheon

For the record, staring right off on Hard mode is not the best strategy.

Oh man really? That's lame.

PaperLuigi44

The reason being that all games have to go through the classification board in Australia and the costs involved with this process.

I got the first two games on Greenhouse so it's kind of odd to see Episode 3 in my Steam library but not the first two. I forget most of the story of the originals.

Is episode 3 going to refresh me or should I wiki it first to brush-up?

It appears that the first two games are reduced in price on Steam until July 2nd also, might be worth considering.

That's good to point out to new folks who haven't already played the games. I was just asking if I should wiki the story beats or if PAP:TRSPoDe3 summarizes the story so-far.

It summarizes the story.

Futore

why is this not available on Mac? Why are none of Zeboyd's games available on MAC????

Langly

gonna have to trouble shoot this on the steam forums later today, I can't get it to open at all.

Butters

I never actually got around to playing Pennies Arcade Adventures. Should I play the first two games before this one?

Langly

yes! they are very fun/funny.

they're both timing/rpg games, like mario rpg.

Bootcamp that sucker! It's what I did: the game isn't burdensome at all so I'm running it in VMWare.

Further on the subject, this game is a fucking blast! And I love the humor. And the PA Staff cameos. It's all awesome.

Caulk Bite 6

for some reason I was hoping to find this on iphone.

steam is good too.

Uriel

Hey @Caulk Bite 6

Thanks for the game!

Tef

You'd think he would spell his name right, wouldn't you? :P

Uriel

I missed the u on my keyboard.

:oops:

TankHammer

The game seed to really amp up the difficulty once I got to the bank. Love the job system!

Caulk Bite 6

those Ancient Doodads are pretty great, I must say.

The Betgirl

I thought it was already out for iOS? If not I think they said it will be soon.

I wasn't particularly surprised when I realized it's currently PC only since Zeboyd's other games are as well.

PiptheFair

so this game is really good

people should buy it and play it

Kuribo's Shoe

yeah it's boss

I got it on xbox

Jim is my favorite
