Kickstarter Pick: Nubarron
By: Nastycloud
One of the pros of this project: You can tell they are more than halfway done with development plus NastyCloud has plenty of app building experience. Here's a teaser of the game. The con: Reaching such a high Kickstarter goal — though I’ve been surprised before. The game's story follows an “unlucky” gnome who must follow the path his cloud forces him to, trapped by its lethal strikes. Destiny might prove it works in mysterious ways, as our cute gnome learns to harness the powers of his lethal cloud. $10 will get you a copy of the game for pretty much any computer platform. Vast amount of content is going to be created by donors, although not sure if those options are going to be available again; they were recently taken off the rewards. But if the higher tier rewards come back it would pretty cool, cause you could pledge a good amount and actually help design aspects of Nubarron.
