About a week ago, I received a Steam announcements for a new puzzle-platformer, CreaVures, from Muse Games (you might know them for Guns of Icarus).  As soon as I saw the first moments of the trailer, I knew I was going to buy this game!  Imagine my surprise, when I received an email the next day, offering me a chance to review it!
