On the orders of an angel, you must fight to save your village from a demonic invasion. But in this 15-minute top-down action game, not everything is as it seems...

It's a good week, now with another favorite reviewer praising SPINE:

You and Granma were, frankly, on the worst terms. That's what made it such a surprise when you got a package from your cousin, who had wound up being the executor of her estate. Maybe, your cousin writes, Granma was able to overlook your differences since you had become a fellow academic? Either way, the actual package is a copy from her rare books collection, willed to you.
