Save Multiwinia

Ok, So it would appear that the RSS feed poster as usual has missed some crucial IV news.

Multiwinia is in trouble, not enough review coverage is the main problem, coupled with lack of downloads of the demo. The good news however is that they have a high proportion of demo-full game conversion.

So, on behalf of the indie developers everywhere I link you to the multiwinia demo
http://www.introversion.co.uk/multiwinia/downloads/

I really recommend this game, it's a really good laugh with a few friends, and a great way to lose 10minutes on a break from work or over lunch at school. If you havn't tried it do, and if you tried it and liked it, consider buying it. IV is a great company and is always pouring out cool stuff. It would be a great shame for their 2nd best game (sorry guys, nothing beats uplink) to not get the coverage it deserves!

SO SPREAD THE NEWS

At first I thought this post would have some sort of joke at the bottom of it. I didn't really expect it to be serious. Why? Because Multiwinia speaks for itself. I don't own another game that fills the same niche and it has become my most played game over the past two weeks.

I'm very short of time just at the moment. New job with lots of travelling. Working on moving house. Bunch of stuff to get sorted at home. I could be more busy but then I'd really have no time. Multiwinia is a game I can play despite being busy. I can pick a game mode with a fixed time limit and dive in. Just got 5 minutes before dinner? Easy... quick game of King of the Hill. Got a little longer? 10 minute round of Capture the Statue. Want a more involved game? Rocket Riot. And then, my favourite, Assault! I love games where I'm defending against almost insurmountable odds. :)

At first it feels like "he who rushes wins" but I'm coming to believe that's not true. There's a benefit in attacking your opponent's travel routes, or deliberately crate hording or whatever. But it's also elegantly simple and pleasing to play.

Here's to hoping it gets better coverage and a much wider uptake!

I agree with you about Assault, Ronin! It's my favourite too. Though I love attacking too, it's fun racing against the clock, capturing the WMD 15 seconds before it explodes is great!

I love multiwinia as Ronin says it is it's own niche and is awesome in many giant piles. It is a shame that it isn't selling. We must get the word out, I've already told a few ppl at work although as hardcore MACites not sure how useful that will be.

Come on everyone who doesn't own it go get it. Or get the demo then love it then buy it.

Is there not a MAC version of this? Or is it just not available yet?

Everyone knows he's really a tea-boy! <.< >.> *runs and hides*

I'm encouraging as many people as I know to try Multiwinia and hopefully buy it, but most of my friends already have it....
