Vinnie and Spike bring Awesomenauts up to one dozen
The folks at Ronimo Games just keep going. I would have been perfectly satisfied with the amount of post-release characters added to Awesomenauts a couple of updates ago (sorry, console versions), but the eclectic cast grows stronger with the introduction of Vinnie and Spike. Described as partners in crime and best friends forever, Vinnie and Spike "are wanted on numerous planets including their homeplanet Okeanos for stealing the massive golden Kullinan koi." Amazing. I can see that dive attack being something to watch out for. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
