It's alright. Not really into playing God Games.

Hey, it runs on the Unity engine. More people should use that engine. Velociraptor Safari was great.

This game though, it's kinda difficult to play. They need a better perspective or something. And better handling.

Also, what's this peculiar Unions vs Scab approach they've got? I mean, I'm pretty pro-union, but I thought they were a little preachy here, with the Scabs calling you out for being socialist.

Um.. it's not a God Game at all. It's a stacking and balancing game. Like all of Blursts games (save Paper Moon), it's all about knowing the physics of the game.

Anywho, good pick, Jordan. I always liked Blurst's games. (( Edit: But I freaking wish I could fire the guy working for me, he gets really annoying when he does his "upset" noises. ))

Or, I can not be forced to boot up firefox and play what is essentially the same game on my phone... Wait, I hate my phone, FIREFOX AWAY!

The whole site looks like an advertisement for the to-me-unknown Unity player. And apparently the Unity player is so great because it is "100% FREE!" and "AWESOME!"...

The Unity player is pretty old by now. To my knowledge, it's been out for most of the last year, if not all of it. Unity is great because it enables full 3D in the browser. Personally, I think this isn't really the greatest game to show it off. That would definitely be Off Road Velociraptor Safari: http://raptorsafari.com which you should check out. You could probably remake Max Payne 2 using it, if it weren't for copyright, it's that advanced.
