Blob, blob, blob... What are these again? Sundogs? Plashes of sunlight rushing in from your peripheral vision – the unhealthy result of exhaustion from completing the one hundred original levels all in one sitting?

Oh no, these are the bubbles again – not pink cheery bubbles on a perfect summer morning, but numb and silent anaerobic floaters on the dark and gelid planet.

Are they conscious? Are they trying to tell something? Could it be a friendly attempt to make the first ever human-alien contact?

Well, who cares, no time to think, goddammit, just blast the living hell out of them all... What else do you have a rifle and a missile launcher for? Would be a shame not to use it.

Blob, blob. blob? – No, burst, burst, burst!

This is no tearjerk kind of nostalgia – this time it comes with a full swing right at your teeth.
