I'm glad to see "look outside" on that list. Such a great game for $10.

Highly recommend Mega Knockdown. It perfectly encapsulates the best part of fighting games: getting into your opponent's head by throwing rock four times in a row.

Steam says my play time for the demo is 109.6 hours. I can't wait to play the real thing next month!
