Before first person shooters became the “default” videogame genre, that title belonged to platformers, thanks in large part to Super Mario Bros. The phenomenal success of Super Mario Bros. led to an endless string of imitators that continues even to this day, to the point where people no longer bat an eye – it’s only considered a rip-off until it becomes so common that it’s considered a genre. A such, the earliest games to jump on the bandwagon tend to have a tougher time of it."
Hardcore Gamer: You'd think Kickstarter would start calming down with the year over halfway done, but that didn't happen.

Mercenary Kings looks like a winner! I love Paul Robertson's work; makes me wish he did more games.
The pinball one for Star-Trek kinda boils my p*ss a bit. Its been available on Visual Pinball for a long time now, sure its not as flashy but it didn't cost $50k to make it either.

The combination of outstanding level design, fantastic visuals, and a mechanic that is literally game changing, is certainly a step in the right direction. At the end of our preview build I simply wanted to play more, and that is never a bad thing.
