A blast from the past!

A few years back Lasso Games entered Levantera Arena to GMS2 Jam and received an honorable mention! You can find it over at lassogames.itch.io/levantera-ar...
Screenshot from Lassogames.itch.io of a pixal art arcade cabnet titled "levantera Arena" with the words "Can you escape the Ciudad del Viento Arena?! Enter the universe of Levantera: Tale of the Winds and fight your way out of the arena! Control The Captain as you beat the bad guys, find powerups, and escape the arena by sea. More information" on the right side of the screen is several screenshots of the game in an arcade style dungeon fighter style.

What's your favorite video game? At Lasso, we have a variety of opinions but as far as the person making this post? It would have to be Okami.

a image of the pengs doing battle with the robots of M.P. Huile with his statue gazing at the battle field in the background on top of a huge skyscrapper. on either side in the distance is a strange shadowy horned, winged, and tentacle peng shadow. A peng in a spaceship tires desperately to attack it. text on the image reads "chapter 3 released. Over 80 new levels! new pengs, foes, and more!".

"The Huile Corporation is a new threat the Pengs will have to face in chapter 3 of Peng Wars. Its goal is to drill for oil in the Antarctic, and anyone who gets in its way will be... terminated."

a two-part image, the top half looks like a file document, while it's over a very simplistic-looking mustache circle head stick figure of a man holding in hands together villainously. The document reads "All huile Inc. personnel are to be informed of anartic drilling operations, effective immediately. drillships are to arrive at the Antarctic mainland by September 6th. inform all authorized personnel about the discovery made by reconnaissance planes. do not disclose the findings to the public. (see picture A) [it's a picture of a peng] Upon reaching the mainland, incite hostilities with the penguins depicted in picture a. do not engage other creatures. Follow the steps as listed here: 1. activate all sentry droids on board the drillships. 2. command the sentry droids to attack the penguins. 3. exterminate all penguins. 4. commence drilling for oil in the antarctic. do not let me down. M.P. Huile." a image with a blue print blue grind background. on it appears three different robot elements. the first one is a white cyndical robot on wheels with claw hands. there is an image of it also attacking a peng with it's claws it reads "product model HD-221400 'sentry droid' light antipersonnel and security droid model. Metal claws exert 5000 psi of force against targets, in two rapid strikes. Cheap to manufacture and deploy and replace in case of malfunction." The second is similar to the other robot, but it is blue and has arms with points at the end. It reads. "product model HD - 221200 'harpoon droid' fishing and oil drilling droid model. Fire harpoons can also aid in antipersonnel service and defense." finally at the bottom there is an ominous silhouette of a big robot with drill hands. it reads "product model VHD-2318000 role: oil extraction, penguin extermination.
