    What's the best game to play when you're ill in bed?? Comment below. 10 POINTS IF YOU SPOT MY SONIC DRAWING! Man Flu has kept me in bed for a few days now. Just had to hit the upload on this before I go back to bed! Night night! zzzzzzzzzzzz

    The art style of the game reminded me a bit of locoroco which I played for quite a while. While some might say it looks odd, I think it is the perfect style to a silly, weird, but fun game.
    Will have to try this one soon.

      I´m late to the party, but I´m pretty sure it was about China. They "rent" land in other (third world-)countries and grow their crops there. They then transport those crops with the help of the starving population of those countries to mainland china to feed their people. The population of those countries is left with (very little) money and no food from those deals.
