So. Not 24 hours ago, those sneaky bastards over at Ice-Pick Lodge released their third and latest game, Cargo! without announcing it to the world.
[I'll put screenshots and shit here once it's downloaded.]
In the mean time, I'll describe what I've understood from various sources (Including RPS, so you know the good guys love it.) goes a bit like this.
The Gods are displeased with humanity. They want the world to be a place of joy and happiness, and humans, being the egocentric douches they are, are ruining it for the rest of us. So, they punish humanity. And go a bit overboard. The planet is splintered into a chain of floating islands, where gravity is a thing of the past to everyone but a group of strange creatures called BUDDIES. And a mysterious material called FUN.(The only metagag you are ever liable to see in a video game.)
You play as a human who found a priceless set of machines which somehow retained their gravity, and are trading them with the BUDDIES for FUN so they can repair Earth.
