Drew Curtis and the good people at Fark.com were kind enough to post about the Tower of Elements charity promotion with Stop Hunger Now.
Drew’s friends at Frogdice are running a charity promotion with Stop Hunger Now on their new game Tower of Elements. For every copy sold they’ll donate a meal to a needy family.
The Indie Mine wrote an article about our charity promotion.
