Linking away happily in a colorful realm of adventure!

Ittle Dew, a charming and elaborate console-style action-RPG with cartoonish graphics and lots of puzzle-packed dungeons, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $12.59 for the first week.

Dungeons! Is there a better place to go adventuring than old moldy crypts full of dangerous monsters, traps, secret passages, and shiny beautiful magical loot? Well, of course not! So what's the point of trying to come up with anything different? There is none! We want dungeons, lots of them. Preferably scattered across some green, charming landscape that can be uncovered bit by bit. Some games do it right, others stray off the path. This one is very self-aware and executes all the classic ideas perfectly!

Ittle Dew plays exactly like a console-style action-RPG should play. That would probably be enough for every gamer in the world, but on top of that--it looks amazing! The cartoony graphics are so full of wit and charm, that you'll feel your inner child jumping up and down with delight. The game offers the best gameplay its genre has to offer, complete with many puzzles, odd-looking monsters, and treasures that you'll find along your way. Your quest will take up to 5 hours and once you're done, you'll probably find yourself playing it all over again, enjoying it even more!

If you miss that special feeling only classic action-RPGs can provide, there's a good chance you will instantly fall in love with Ittle Dew! Get it for only $12.59 on GOG.com. The 10% discount offer lasts until Wednesday, July 31, at 9:59AM GMT.

Argh, my lame old computer doesn't support pixel shader 3.0... I'll probably buy this next month, once I get paid.

I guess some people really loved Wind Waker/Four Swords/Four Swords Adventures/The Minish Cap/Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks/any-Zelda-with-toon-Link, and that's more than fine, by me. Even that scene of the two characters being thrown into the island looks like a rip-off of when Tetra fires Link into the Forsaken Fortress for the first time in Wind Waker.

Haha, beat stuff up until we solve the puzzle :D

Bloodygoodgames: Nope -- Americans pronounce it Mountain Do. The British pronounce it Mountain Dew :) I can do both, as I lived long enough in the US so have the almost-perfect American accent if I want to. But my natural accent, and the one I default to most of the time is still British, so it's 'Due' for me :)
Isn't it a bit weird to assume that all Americans speak the same kind of accent? Same goes for British people. When I compare the accent of southern England with the one of Scotland, I'm not even sure it's the same language... ;-)

Accents in the U.S. vary wildly...even in the same state. I used to live in Florida and lived there for over 20 years and there were some people for whom I seriously required a Southern-to-English dictionary because I could not understand a word they were saying O.o

Sure, you're right -- Americans all over the US speak with slightly different accents. But....many words are pronounced the same by Americans in every state. Words like Mountain Dew in the US, for instance, it's pronounced 'Moun-un Do' (they don't even pronounce the 't' in mountain :), and that's how it's pronounced all over the US -- just listen to the TV commercial.

Same with any word that the British would pronounce as a 'j' sound even though it's spelt with a 'd'. Americans will always pronounce it with the 'd'.

Wow, indeed a tad more expensive than on Steam. Not interested either way anyway.

So you never heard "creek" being pronounced "crick" (cr- yk ) during your time in the U.S.? :D

I lived in Ohio, Kentucky, Colorado, California, Texas, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Louisiana and spent a lot of time in Oregon and Washington State (lived in the US almost 25 years).

Mountain Do is pronounced the same everywhere. :)

Yes, but that's a completely different word -- creek and crick, depending on where you live. If it's written as 'creek', however, it's pronounced creek. Crick is a dialectic difference (dialect and accent are two different things, btw).

Zoidberg: Wow, indeed a tad more expensive than on Steam.
For me it's more or less the same. It's 9.99 Euro on steam (which is about $13.20 at the moment). On GOG it's $12.59 at the moment and $13.99 when the discount is gone. But on GOG the soundtrack and some extras are included which seems to be missing at Steam.

So at least many Europeans get a better deal here I would say.

Except most (maybe all) Americans I've heard saying "Due" also pronounce that as 'Do', hence the increasingly popular screwed up idiom "make due" which I've seen cropping up all over the place recently, even in supposedly professional writing.

Hm. It kind of looks interesting. But it's more expensive than a movie for only a few hours of playtime. Hm. May wishlist and wait for a sale.

Wow, up to 5 hours? That doesn't sound promising, considering 'up to' means the absolute maximum, presumably if you do everything.

Definitely going to wait to buy this (it looks interesting, but for a Zelda-like that's really short).

JudasIscariot: Also, I don't recall the last time I used a D-pad as I never use those in modern games but that's just me :D
I find d-pads are best for 2D games and analogue sticks for 3D games. For me that's where the distinction lies. I'd put it down to generation but I suspect you're at least as old as me. :P

Bloodygoodgames: Oh and I guess the play on words "it'll do" works if you're American ,or learnt American English if you're a non-native speaker.
Ohhh, of course! Yeah, that's not a very obvious pun for anywhere dew is pronounced dyoo (you can't use 'due' to describe our pronunciation because I've heard due pronounced do plenty of times).
