March 21st - via: cliqist.com
Ever since Exploding Rabbit announced earlier this week that their Kickstarter funded 2D platformer Super Action Squad was being put on hold it’s been a bit of a mess.

Jay Pavlina, the man in charge of Exploding Rabbit, didn’t help his case when he posted a 4200 word message explaining what happened in great detail; to the point where dirty laundry was aired. Jay’s message ended by announcing plans to run a Google Hangout Chat on March 20th so people could ask he and the team questions and express concern. (Read More)
