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.

Is it really an action/RPG? From screenshots it looks a bit more like a Zelda style action/adventure than Secret of Mana style action/rpg.

Monsters pop in clouds of confetti when you kill them. I must play this.

PaterAlf: 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... ;-)

Bloodygoodgames: 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'.
I'm seriously confused by all of this talk of how Americans speak. Do and dew should be pronounced the same way. Doe would be pronounced differently, but not "do". Also, I've never heard anyone say "mountain" without the "t". Heck, I listened to your youtube link and I even heard the "t" in that pronunciation, even though it certainly wasn't prominent. Was all this a joke? Should I be laughing right now? Very, very confused....

Would you care to explain why they should be pronounced the same way?
Because plenty of dictionaries say otherwise.

makes me think of "so" and "sew." the pronounciation could be regional. like how most americans say new jersey and people from new jersey say, nuh juhzee.

It's more of a puzzle action-adventure game hybrid just without the point and click bits. You really don't have to fight the monsters except in the dungeons where some doors unlock after you kill the monsters in a room.

Looks like other similar games with some cute quirky writing. I will give it a try at some point, but that will likely be at 50% off or more.

If you notice, even your second link mentions alternative pronounciations and draws attention to possible confusion with due.
Maybe it does have to do with regions or states or somehting along those lines.

I guess. I'm just looking at first pronunciations and how I hear it spoken everywhere living in this country. Lot's of words in English are spoken with the same pronunciation but mean something different depending on context. It's just the way it is.

dew/do/due

are homophones in American English.

Man, that girl looks crazy. Better run away then... :D


The price isn`t too bad - but I`ll wait away.

LOL, it's because you're American. You have no idea how you sound to other native English speakers who aren;t.

And NO, only in America are 'do' and 'due' pronounced the same way. Correct pronunciation for do is 'doo'. Correct pronunciation for 'due' is something like 'jew'.

And yes, you might think Americans are pronouncing the 't' in mountain. Most aren't. The 't' is skipped over like in many other English words pronounced by Americans that..

Nothing wrong with it, it's just an accent, but it's not the way much of the rest of the world pronounces these words as, up until the last 10-15 years or so, most non-native speakers learnt British English and not American English.

I taught English in Thailand for about six years and most of my Thai students were confused with the American pronunciation of many words, as they learnt British English. Like I said, that is changing as more Americans teach in Thailand and as more American language schools open here. But British English is still predominantly taught in schools for the moment.

LOL, they shouldn't be. Americans pronounce them that way, so they're correct in America but not usually anywhere else.

Dictionary.com is an American website. That's why. Oh and they use the American Heritage Dictionary, where the pronunciations, and spellings, are skewed to the American version.
