“The illuminati have stolen all the world’s memes!” we’re told. “You’re an ex secret-service agent turned to a peaceful life of painting, but now you’re needed one more time to fight back.”

Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Andrew Sum, game designer and head of studio Normal Wholesome Games, has previously said he’s a big fan of shooters. He also seems very aware that this is a far cry from the other game he is known for, the popular Frogger-like phone game Crossy Road. “If players are surprised, confused, or feeling strong emotions,” says his studio website, “then the team can call that a success.”

420BlazeIt 2 will also feature a meme slider, letting you presumably adjust just how dank your playthrough can get. The original game did something similar, featuring a “dubstep controller” that worked in the background to detect how many enemies were dying and placed the “drop” accordingly. If you like the sound of that, you can stillplay the original 420BlazeIttoday.

Or better yet, grab that demo of the sequel, which we have harvested along withall the other demos from Steam Next Fest. It’s a bumper crop, my friends. A bumper crop.
