Rewrite article to reflect steam release?

So at least for me, it seems that regular version is quite literally flash game played within browser, so many aspects can't be properly described. Humble offers Adobe AIR package as well but only difference for flash version seems to be proper fullscreen mode and requirement for installing adobe AIR to machine for installation.

Steam version has been upgraded in every aspect, including engine changed to unity. Technically game has changed so much that article will fail to reflect both versions.

So make article to reflect steam version, cut down "developer" (same as official basically) and "publisher" (linking to kongergate) from availability and put note to "Official" that there's original flash version available to play for free?

Sure. We don't cover browser-only games anyways.

Just make a note somewhere that the page covers the Steam version.

Canabalt.com lists Semi Secret Software as the developer (company that Adam works for), as does the Humble Bundle download page. I'm guessing that Adam developed the game prior to joining Semi Secret, but is publishing it through them now?

I've changed the publisher to reflect that.

Cheeseness (talkcontribs)

No worries. The only thing I want to highlight is that that's an assumption - I haven't talked to Adam about it (though I'll try and remember to shoot him an email or ping him on Twitter or something and see if I can get some confirmation).

Oh, ok. Still, it's better than the previous state - it's generally accepted that if publisher == developer, we remove the publisher field. Thanks for following up on that.
