The parrot is back from the dead bringing countless new insults for your disposal, Sir! Remember that silly game that parted lovers, destroyed families and turned friends into enemies? Here’s its successor that does even more, certainly with more style and more variety. And I have proof! This time you can spread affront to everyone in the world that has Internet access or - if you’re not the most sociable - you can sit alone and play with yourself. Nudge nudge. So don’t let the parrot die for nothing and tell that grumpy old lady that her husband donated organs for a strange woman lying in a pond and that her sister poses nude for some dog. Then meet a retired hipster who admires pictures of a grunting sow, and a fake Russian who borrowed a dead body to put his teacup and crumpets on. It’s also the only game that lets you learn what’s The Meaning of Life, and that’s scientifically proven!

Sir!' is our favorite insult-em-up" - Aaron Souppouris, Engadget - "Obviously, this game is getting my highest recommendation, and I expect to see it on a few end of year lists" - Pockettactics Game Features: Loner’s Insult Tournament Mode:Battle your way through numerous unique situations and verbally assault your CPU Real-Life Friends Mode: Duel against your actual friends on a couch, ottoman, or whatever else you like to rest your fanny on Imaginary-Friends Mode: Verbally take down strangers from all over the world online, and bring the witty pain across any device using the game's Cross-Platform Multiplayer 5 Hilarious Playable Characters: Each with their own unique voices, quirky traits and hilarious “insult bits” 4 Conflict Scenarios: Lay down some verbal jujitsu across 4 different testy situations and dynamic environments Contentious Battle System: Employ combos, criticals, continuations and other new mechanics to outwit your argumentative opponents!
