376 - Dream Land Sharing

"Fine, but now Kirby's hurt, so share the Tomato back."

It's about time I did a comic about sharing food/life in these games, eh? This is the sort of strip that writes itself, so I had fun with it. I kind of went back and forth on including Dedede's life bar, but I went with it because I think it best clarifies that he's getting healed.

I've beaten Kirby's Return to Dream Land and am currently working on the post-game content--Kirby fans will be happy for sure. It's a ton of fun and a very solid follow-up to Kirby Super Star (and contains the same style of multi-attack abilities that made that game so addictive and replayable). Really, my only main complaint is that it isn't quite as ambitious as I'd like a console Kirby game to be--compared to Adventure, Super Star and Epic Yarn, which forged bold new paths for platforming at their release, RtDL plays it relatively safe. But all things considered, it's still a great game, and just as fun with 2, 3, or 4 players!

Oh, and it's time for our HOLIDAY SALE! Yep, for the next few weeks, we'll be running our stuff at a discounted price!
