If you enjoyed Kururin on the Gameboy Advance Switch service, you'll absolutely enjoy this too!

Please give this game some love! It's been overshadowed by some major releases. It's a cute Kururin-inspired game, relaxing yet quite challenging! Currently only on Switch, but that may change if it does well enough.

An update was also recently released, to reduce the difficulty a little. If you have any questions about the game, please reach out to StudioSomewhere on Twitter, I'm sure they'll appreciate feedback too, there or on Metacritic user reviews :)

UPDATE!

Thank you so much to Antdude, for recently featuring this game on a video and singing its praises. Here's another chance to get Spinfrog the love it deserves! Come see his take on the game here, and help spread the word!

ok but if the Palestinans were citizens of various empires that occupied the area through various centuries.. like, were they all considered Ottomanians/../Byzantinians/whatever? Like, did borders exist between various territories within these rmpires? Or could people travel as freely as, for example, Americans travel within US? Like.. if I move from NJ to FL, I am now a “Floridian” but how meaningful is this identification? You know?

No, because they weren’t citizens in the same way that you’re a US citizen or a resident of a US state. The land was occupied and ruled by a foreign nation; it wasn’t a separate and independent government. The indigenous people didn’t become Ottomans by virtue of the Ottoman Empire ruling the land, just like the indigenous people of Mexico didn’t become Spaniards by virtue of the Spanish Empire occupying the land. It’s a false premise and analogy.

spinfrog mentioned you on a post “Sometimes people are good”

@stele3 we know Palestinian gov. is evil, because no matter what it does, no Palestinian dares protest its actions, and no Palestinian journalist dares report it.. how evil can Israeli gov be with all these people freely expressing their opinions? No Israeli gov body has ever called for “death to all Arabs” or vowed to “push all Arabs into the sea”...... Israel has Arab soldiers, cops, lawyers, judges, teachers, journalists, politicians, business owners. Arabic is taught in schools in Israel..

Freely expressing their opinions?

Multiple journalists wearing vests that were clearly marked “PRESS” have been shot and killed by Israeli forces. Video of press being targeted while they stand around doing nothing but observing the scene.

Poet Dareen Tatour was arrested for writing a poem. At least 400 other Palestinians have also been arrested for social media posts on the grounds that they incite violence. This is a direct quelling of freedom of speech.

In the last wave of violence, Israeli soldiers shot Palestinians while they peacefully protested; some were even praying. Yes, there’s video. (TRIGGER WARNINGS GALORE.) 60 people were killed, thousands were injured. Not one Israeli was even injured.

But you’re saying that because Arabic is taught in schools, that obviously the Israeli government is fine with people expressing their opinions?

No nation should treat people this way--America, France, North Korea, Sudan, or Israel. What is happening in Gaza right now is wrong; Israel is wrong for carrying out this violence against Palestinians, and America is wrong for supporting it.

I hope you’ll let us live vicariously through you on this trip :)

I don’t know how exciting that will be lol; I don’t really tend to go touring on these trips, just hang around Yerushalayim and see friends. But I’m sure you’ll get some photos at some point. ;)

Ouch :( Also, her ‘elimination’ strategy is total bs. When I got diagnosed with celiac and completely removed wheat/gluten from my diet, it took MONTHS for me to really feel better. (Btw going 100% gluten-free for forever SUCKS ASS, don’t do it unless you absolutely have to)

I think celiac (which I was tested for, and don’t have) is a little different than this situation, but yeah, I didn’t think FODMAP for 2 weeks was going to help. I only went along with it because if I didn’t, she’d just be like, “well obviously you aren’t feeling better because you didn’t follow my instructions.” It wouldn’t really make sense for it to be food-related, though, because I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch every weekday and am not super adventurous with my dinners (in that I am too lazy to spend more than 5-10 minutes making a meal for myself, and there are only so many options that are that quick). There’s nothing I can identify that I ate in proximity to these 5 recent GI incidents that I didn’t also eat at multiple other times (recently) with zero consequences.

Swing by Detroit and pick me up on the way!

I will send an energy vampire in my stead. Don’t worry, she doesn’t bite and she’s made a killer playlist.

I lived in Nebraska for 22 years. Please feel free to hit me up if you need I-80/midwest help!

Will do! I am entirely unfamiliar with most of the trip I have coursed for them. The only areas I’m familiar with are a small part of Indiana and the Grand Canyon area itself, since the last time I road tripped there we were coming from Florida and took a completely different tack. Mostly though, if you know of any cool/cheesy tourist traps along that corridor let me know.

holy shit am i excited for. you to write this. this looks so fucking cool?? youre a fantastic writer??? im jazzed out of my own mind???????

THANK YOU. I AM EXCITED YOU ARE HERE FOR IT. It’s different than anything I’ve tried to write before, but I’m hoping that will benefit it. Can I write a story that’s KL distraction proof??? ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

You don't get to visit Vegas and AZ without me, I'm just going to say this now.

Unfortunately they’re only going as far as AZ, but I’ll have them give you a call. :p (I actually do badly want to visit the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest again, and you better believe I will let you know when that happens.)

Yes! But make sure your car is in really good shape and mabe have a canister of gas... there are some looong ass stretches of empty road... plus all the usual crap like blankets water dry / canned food... *\o/*

Worry not! I am a veteran of long drives. Also I’m sadly not actually taking this one right now. BUT ONE DAY.

No, the Jewish mother of the Jewish man is telling the aunt and uncle of her non-Jewish daughter-in-law that the aunt and uncle's Jewish daughter (me) is being too frummy to spend time with her. She lives in the same city as me, but I have never met her much less had her invite me to do something and told her I can't because of something Jewish.
