Obviously I am going to have to try Pink Island though those other sound pretty amazing as well. Well One Dreamer doesn’t sound like my jam but it has a character in a pink dress, she facinates me xD!
Of course you’re going for Pink Island 🙂
One Dreamer has such a unique concept and I am a sucker for pixel art.
