ONGOING: King Rabbit
I am a lifelong fan of the Eggerland/Adventures of Lolo series, or at least the NES ones. (I never got into the ones on other systems, admittedly.) Enough so that I even played and beat a fan translation of the Famicom-only Eggerland: Revival of the Labyrinth even though it's notably difficult and the "special" levels are bullshit. (I used a walkthrough for those and regret nothing.)
One day we were going through our Steam Discovery Queues in Clan,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
xyzzysqrl found King Rabbit, and her response was, "Does the Harry Potter soundtrack know you mugged it for your Lolo?" She, of course, said the magic word and I was instantly intrigued by what she had found.
... And then I kind of forgot about it until like ten months later when Sara and I happened to get it in one of our queues. Oops.
Anyway, King Rabbit is an up-converted and Steam-ported mobile game. You are a quite frankly adorable bun, and you hop around, collect coins, push crates, gain powerups, solve puzzles based around pushing crates and gaining powerups, and so forth. There are a few sets of pack-in levels that are mostly just glorified tutorials, introducing you to various mechanics, enemy and powerup types, etc. one stage at a time. The meat of the game is the Community, where fellow users have made and continue to make a nearly infinite supply of levels that can be sorted and played by Action, Puzzle, Random, New, Best, etc.
This is free-to-play Super Adventures of Lolo Maker, essentially. Which, you know. Say no more. If your ears perked as much as mine did when you heard that, you are exactly the person this game is aimed at and you're going to love it.
The mobile-ness almost doesn't show, until it wants you to log in to keep your progress safe and you see the Gold and Diamonds currency (the latter of which costs real life microtransaction money) in the in game store. Fortunately, you are free to completely ignore all of these features if you wish. There's very little reason not to get an account (they're free and you get to not be signed in as Guest346345,) but like, you still totally can if you want. The Gold is collectible in-game and doesn't do anything anyway except unlock props and block types in the stage creator. Diamonds get you literally nothing but custom King Rabbit OC-looking avatars to hop around in. They are cute, but if you don't care, then you'll never have to spend money on this game. Well, maybe the hints? I've never messed with those, though. If I get so stuck on a level that I need to give up and use a hint, I'd probably rather just play a different level.
With the pack-in levels a short introduction at best and the Community ones going on forever, this isn't the type of game one can ever call "beaten." However, I am very glad to welcome it into our home, where I am sure we will be picking at the Puzzle levels from time to time for the foreseeable future.

Also because in my experience they'll never stop emailing you garbage.

Still, that's a good point and good to know. Be careful out there, fellow readers whose circumstances may be different.
