"Wii version supports multiplayer co-operative play for all levels".
While a cool feature, those guys should learn to prioritize.
I'd rather have the PC version, which I pre-ordered not knowing that the Wii version would be mutliplayer because not only "early adopters" were left in the dark about a release date, but apparently about features as well.
They make me feel like a stupid ass customers who just got screwed for lack of research.

AFAIK it has been know for quite a while that the Wii version will have Multiplayer and the PC version won't. It has been announced as soon as 2Dboy spread the word of a Wii port...

Hahahahahahaa.. You're serious? You think that they should prioritize the PC version - which will undoubtedly sell FAR fewer copies - over the Wii release?
Really, I like my PC, and I love developers who primarily focus on it, but in all honestly it ain't where the money is.

Jean-Sebastien, I'd be happy to give you a refund for the PC version if you want, just send us an email through our contact page (http://2dboy.com/contact.php) and you'll have it.
