I need to add that to a template.

I had just added Orbox C to my wishlist yesterday, and I'll come back with an edit to this response to let everyone know if I think it is either as good or as decent as it looks in the trailer.

-51% = $0.49

If you want to play Invisigun Reloaded online, using the game's Discord server is the best way.

I can confirm Gato Roboto, Grow Home and Styx are nice games as well.
