I already have this on Steam,  If anyone asks I can get you the code.

OOh, up my alley.  Less hectic sounds good.  I need to get back to Hades 
and try 'story mode' some time.

I enjoy a good zombie shooter on occasion.

Too late here too.  It's a genre I probably should like as I always 
enjoyed Summon Monster & Charm spells in AD&D, playing an Enchanter in 
Everquest, and Mind Control and Masterminds in CoH, Dungeon Keeper, 
Populous, and Master of Magic all which let your minions fight for you 
to some extent.  You still can fight (possibly very well) in all those. 
Perhaps that's the difference, or it could be the cartoon kiddie 
aesthetic which I don't enjoy in games.

Very tempting to give a try, maybe just the name as it's originally (I 
think) from Adventure Time the cartoon (of which there's numerous games, 
I've played at a couple, and I wasn't impressed.)

All sound possibly interesting, but I'm a bit off platforming currently.

I watched a few episodes recently, it's much better than the old 
70's-80's cartoons I loved so much which I got on DVD and ruined my 
childhood watching a few episodes and seeing just how bad they were with 
my adult eyes. Almost all the newer cartoons are so much better.

There's only one actor from ST TNG's Jonathan Frakes (Riker)
