AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! A Price Drop!

Dejobaan Games just informed us that their skydiving game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! — A Reckless Disregard for Gravity has dropped in price (much like in-game elevation) to a mere $9.95. Beats skydiving lessons, and you don’t even have to be strapped to an instructor.

The game has found its way onto both Gamasutra and Metacritic’s 2009 Best Of PC lists. Geoff here also gave it a great review. So if you haven’t gotten a chance to experience this game yet, there’s no better time than now. The press release lies just below.

Indie studio Dejobaan Games has lowered the price of “AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! — A Reckless Disregard for Gravity” (“Aaaaa!”) to $9.95 to fund production of its next game. Featured in Metacritic’s and Gamasutra’s lists of top PC games of 2009, Aaaaa! is now available from Direct2Drive, GamersGate, Impulse, Steam, WildTangent, and the Dejobaan website at www.dejobaan.com/aaaaa.

In Aaaaa!, you jump from rooftops to perform stunts, kissing steel girders and hugging the sides of buildings for points. See that group of spectators cheering you on? Give them the thumbs-up. That line of protesters? Give them the finger. Round that out with a bit of civil disobedience by spray painting government buildings. The game will also teach you how to bake cookies using your dead son’s ashes.

Aaaaa! has garnered positive press since its September ’09 launch. PC Gamer said it “wowed me with its boisterous celebration of carelessness illuminated by harsh neon lights… Quite a rush!” Rock Paper Shotgun’s Kieron Gillen called it “[A] hyper-punishing, score-chasing laugh riot which you will adore. And Mike Rose from Indiegames.com puts it plainly: “Buy this game.”

The studio has released few details about its upcoming 14th title. After prototyping a number of new ideas, they say to to expect a spiritual successor to Aaaaa! that incorporates aspects of music generation into its core gameplay. They’ll be posting more about the title in coming weeks on their blog at www.dejobaan.com/blog.
