jackAlso: The character of swampy is really cute. He doesn't really do much other than have a shower, but he's very expressive.
Also: It's really really good to see modern games hitting a common denominator higher than farmville but lower than AAA FPS games. There's good and bad about games having a $0.65 price point (you need lots of development values to reach a wide audience, as well as to reach an obsessed one), but in general it's nice to see something that can be enjoyed by so many people it's basically free, which gaming previously seemed to have given up on.
Although: I'm always scared by "buy this upgrade, buy that upgrade". I'm happy to buy several chunks when I can see what they are, but I'm extremely nervous of falling into the clutches of someone like zynga, and getting fleeced with "oh, just pay this then you can play the game as intended, no wait, ok, just pay THIS, ok, well, pay that a few more times..."
