Reminds me of this crazy 'Roger Rabbit'-esque Brad Pitt movie I watched, Cool World. It was bonkers in an "I can't believe this happening" sort of way.

Yup! Cool World was an inspiration for this game as well!

The art is what drew me to the project, but I have to say… I’m pretty disappointed. They had a limited pledge that was gone before a lot of us had a chance to even see it (with no warning of when the kickstarter would drop). That was the only option they had to pick up both of the books without a ton of extras. Wish they tried to make the campaign more accessable to those who don’t have a lot of free cash and just want to buy the books.

Oh no! Well, I highly encourage you to let them know in the comments section. Kickstarters like this frequently change course based on feedback, so let them know what you'd like to see available and why, and if enough people rally together, hopefully they can accommodate you!

Nice of the algorithm to feed me this a week late.......
