A small MOBA that sets itself apart from others with its cartoony graphics and side-scrolling gameplay. Quite frankly, it's the only MOBA I'm interested in. It's also going to be F2P for this week, so there's no real excuse to not try it. okay that was hyperbolic
In any case, this game is still very small, and I'd appreciate it getting more players.

Awesomenauts is a lot of fun, and pretty fast-paced for a MOBA. I love the cartoon style they go for, which already makes it a several times more interesting than your typical cool/dark MOBA. And the music themes, oh man.

This is the theme of Leon Chameleon, a lizard alien assassin with a French accent. If this song doesn't convince you that the game is zany, I don't know what will.
That being said, I suck at this game, so when I settle at rank 5 or 4, I really start to get pummeled by other players.

If it's FTP, I'll give it a shot. I wish they did it during the summer though.

I had the opposite problem; I was good enough to like rush up to rank 2-1 when I was originally playing and suddenly at that part you hit the people who pretend the game should be taken seriously and do nothing but bitch and whine and half of them can indeed kick your ass so it suddenly sucked the fun out of it?
Someday I should play some more, I think there's been a few new characters added since I last played, and it was fun.
