I first pirated this game after seeing some Tobuscus play of it, and played hardcore through to the lizard temple, which was the endgame way back when. Bought it once i finally had a job and restarted all over again, still as happy as a lark. Then 1.3 came out and I did it again in expert mode. Ive modded this game, nuked worlds from failures and losing too many items in harsh spots to salvage, and I still have never played a better game. Looking forward to 1.4 and whatever comes after!!

Edit: So I have played this game for yet another 500 or so hours at the time of this edit, going from 440 to over 1k hours (too bad modded isnt counted AFAIK) and I still adore this game. It has become my absolute favorite game ever. PLEASE nominate this for the Labor of Love award! It deserves it so much, being updated ALL FOR FREE for the last decade or so
