So I decided to revisit Treasure Adventure Game after many years. I was thinking of recommending it to a few people, but then I remembered that some people complained of performance issues. I realized a couple of things:
1) The GOG version is outdated. Grab the game from the developers site. The Fileplanet link worked out fine.
2) You can change the controls using setup.exe, but do not enable controller support. It drops my frames by almost 30fps and makes the game feel sluggish. Instead, use whatever key to controller program you prefer (like joytokey, steam controller, ds4 mapping program, etc).
This game is so good. If you enjoy metroid-like games, with a weird and interesting world, this game is a must play. It's one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing, and it's free. The soundtrack is also killer.
I'm posting this so I can grab this if I ever recommend the game in the future. I felt bad when Toma had trouble running the game a few years back, so it's good to have some answers that may help some people.

I remember quite enjoying that one back in the day. Hope the remake is coming along well for the developer.
Wasnt that one supposed to be out like... last year?
I keep reading about this. I've even installed it but never got beyond the intro.
I think I'll give it a go now, thanks.

So, who among you guys have played the recently released extension to Kindom, New Lands?
I have mixed feelings about it. While I like the extra content, I find some of the new mechanics boring:

Cool. I hope it performs well enough for you. The game is a real gem.
Me too. It's been in development for a while now, I hope it ends up being worth it.
Picked up Handsome Mr Frog, such a fun little arcade romp. Kinda like Super Crate Box meets Bubble Bobble. It's like we unearthed a lost Taito arcade rom.

Reigns - $2.99 (iOS, Android, Steam)
Typoman: Revised - $14.99 (PC, Mac)
Fabric - $9.99 (PC)
http://nerial.co.uk/reigns/
Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal controller either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and familys dynasty at risk!
Typoman: Revised - $14.99 (PC, Mac)
http://www.typoman.net/
Typoman is a 2D puzzle platformer. You slip into the role of a character made of letters, struggling to make your way through a dark and hostile world. Despite your small stature you have a powerful gift: You can craft words to alter your environment.
But choose your words wisely - they can either be a blessing ...or a curse!
Fabric - $9.99 (PC)
http://torrenglabs.com/fabric/
Fabric is a first person puzzle game in which you bend spacetime to solve challenging puzzles and complete glitchy-themed voxel-based levels.
Your goal is, basically, to reach the end of the level. To achieve this goal, you wont need to collect numerous of items, wont craft anything absurd or wont try to persuade a chatty AI: In Fabric, you will change the shape of voxel-based levels and physics with your gun. This gun allows you to bend space, squeeze the world, separate tiles from each others and bring them together.
Anyone hear of Monsters and Monocles ? It looks like and plays like another Gungeon/NT. Also has 4 player online coop which is nice rarity with this genre. It's out tommorow on EA but i havent heard of it before.
dev mentioned its $15 ($13.5 as launch sale price)

Sorcery 4 comes out next month! After three years, it's finally coming to an end
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jhac84QdpA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jhac84QdpA
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. One of the devs posts on GAF too
Never heard about it but this looks amazing.
Definitely wishlisting and waiting for some impressions. I'm a sucker for this type of game though. Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne are by far my most played games on Steam.
I should probably start the second chapter then!
I tend to get paralyzed by indecision in Inkle's games. You'd think the ability to easily rewind your decisions in Sorcery would help, but...

Whoa, Seasons After Fall is out September 2nd. I honestly don't know too much about it other than it's a painterly puzzle-platformer with a season changy gimmick, from the creators of Blocks That Matter and the absolutely stellar Tetrobot. $15 on Steam, other platforms = "We're currently focusing on PC", so far.

Glad to hear those devs are still pottering along. After the stories of Tetrobot not doing so hot I was worried they had left the industry. Definitely keeping an eye out for their new seasons game.

Okhlos comes out later today. Been excited for that one for a while. Devolver usually means quality
I should probably do the same. I played chapter 1 (and I think 2? or part of it?) way back when but it's been a while, so... a replay and then getting through the rest is in order.

Picked up Handsome Mr. Frog last night (and OST). Great fun, certainly worth the $1 (and change, with OST ...)
Has anyone tried this yet? As a big NT/Gungeon fan, very tempted to grab this too if it scratches that same dungeon crawl itch.
Weird, another Fox led season switching game was recently Kickstarted. Mind you vastly different, but still a weird coincidence.Whoa, Seasons After Fall is out September 2nd.

Haven't seen the video yet, but am about to and have quite high hopes for this one. Been in development a long time and looked good right from the beginning.

Wow, that's wild! I poked around the FoxN' twitter, says they chatted with (Swing Swing Submarine? The publisher?) before putting up the kickstarter - that sounds like an incredibly awkward conversation, but who knows?
Super tempted to - but I can't decide what to buy for the moment:
OHKLOS
Death Road to Canada
Human: Fall Flat
Monsters & Monocles
suggestions?

I've gotten pretty addicted to Death Road to Canada, my Steam clock says I have 21 hours in it. Any questions in particular?
And you're not bored yet? the runs aren't getting too similar?
I'm one of the two guys making Monsters & Monocles - I am so happy to finally have it out in early access after 2.5 years of work. To celebrate here are some keys (quote to see)! Please let folks know if you grab one.
Thanks to everyone who has said hi at shows and encouraged me on the way, y'all are the best. If you're at PAX West I'll be in the megabooth again, see you there.

So I know some folks have been playing with the steam controller - at some point I want to do proper support for it but just know I haven't had a chance to really look at it yet.
Feel free to experiment, just wanted to let you know where stuff is at

I guess not? Its not something I put a lot of effort into or get intense about, its something that relaxes me after work. Even when I die to some bullshit I have a big grin on my face, I just really like the music and the game's sense of humor.

Your beloved people will not longer stand for the abuse from their deities and take up arms against them and taking down anything and everything in their path. Topple the beastly minotaur, bring down sacred temples, and confront the almighty Olympians themselves while recruiting and balancing your unruly mob with warriors, peasants, slaves and even livestock in their quest for freedom from Mount Olympus! Its total anarchy in the birthplace of democracy!

Re: Monsters & Monocles
I'd very much appreciate a way to hide the mouse cursor if no one is actually playing with a mouse. It doesn't seem to go away on its own.
Also, it should be possible to back out of any settings screen with the B button (on an Xbox controller). Maybe even the Start button.
Otherwise, it sure seems polished. Early impressions are good!
edit: Is this currently balanced for a single player? The earliest encounters in the mansion makes me think it might not be.

The other fox game sounds shady. Looks like they ripped off the main concept but the gameplay/art looks much worse.
