22w ago - MonkeyPaw Games Marketing Manager Ray Almeda announced that Rapid Angel is blessing PlayStation Network with its presence today!

Below are the details, to quote: MonkeyPaw Games is always looking for something to twist your mind a little.

A game that makes you wonder 'who came up with this?'. Luckily, there is no shortage of weird and wonderful curios from the land of Japan.

And today we're pleased to bring you the next of our "subliminally strange but always pleasing" Japanese imports for the PSN section.
