Let's be honest. If you had both a medieval-style cannon thing and an unlimited supply of the undead to serve as ammo, you'd probably spend most of your time trying to launch them into various obstacles.

A little macabre and immature, but a lot of fun, its 70 levels will make one wish for Halloween to come early this year.

Months after discovering You Are a Box, Games Northwest is happy to report that You Are Still a Box. And you've got some work to do.

As a box, you're just the moderately-animate object to do it, though you're going to need a little help along the way.
Enter the eerie world of a playground at night and try to escape before becoming totally creeped out in this fun new escape from Dassyutu.

Your goal is to spell four letter and above words, eliminating bubbles and postponing your Level Lost! for another day. Act fast and hope your vocabulary is as flexible as it is comprehensive!
