The file versions of this re-run are the same as the earlier giveaway, but the installed executable is substantially smaller.

I found the gameplay too repetitive and the machine guns too scaring for my 4 year old son. But an ok game! Thanks! Nice looking “Pooyan” clone.

I love how the people who come here to leech free games instead of paying for them have the gall to complain about the free stuff GGotD gives out. If you don't like the games then go out and BUY the ones you like. Otherwise, keep quiet and be thankful for the free stuff. HA!!

Also, those who are not looking for games in that range would not be tempted to download something they likely would not like and would then comment negatively on. OR perhaps GOTD could have 2 sections: children's games and a more mature game section.

Pretty good, but a bit simple. Some strategy games would be nice. Ironically, this game is smaller than the main Giveaway. Pretty good, but a bit simple. Some strategy games would be nice.

Okay, i admit it: i liked the game! Yeah, it's a young children's game. No, i'm not a young child (my wife might argue that). But, i've spent many hours playing this game, and, while it can get a little monotonous for this 34 year old kid after a couple hours, it really is a great little game. It's definitely unique and it's safe for kids (you might not agree if you are anti-gun or think it's evil to shoot wolves that are attacking you). i give this one an easy 8 out of 10. Now i just have to decide whether to go back to actual work, or to play Brave Piglet again... -alexander i downloaded this game the last time it was offered. Okay, i admit it: i liked the game!

Stay away. P.S. And #19, nobody here is "crying about freebies". There is a serious difference between stating that you do not like a game, and actually COMPLAINING about it. It's like looking at a lit cigarette and calling it a forest fire. Exaggerate much? This is a creepy, gimped out version of Zak & Jak. Stay away.
