Why I Feel Double Fine Studios Are Taking The Piss
Disclaimer: The following is an opinion piece. People may not agree with what is being said, but I by all means encourage readers to engage in discussion about the following views and opinions.

Latest Build of Project Dandelion (play in fullscreen recommended)

I plan to have this game finished and released before Christmas, and will continue to support it afterwards with updates that improve functionality. (such as online leaderboards rather than local high scores.) Either way, enjoy the latest build!
