Looked up the official info page because the site looks hilariously dubious

I've passed on the Swapper so many times, it pops up in a Humble Bundle and it's literally the only game in the bundle I don't own already.

I'm not getting an email or a link or anything. Clicking "submit" just reloads the page.

Man, the Surface Pro 2 is really rad. Got steam installed on it and Civilization downloading so I'm interested to see how that works. Will have to look into other touch based games and hook up my DS4.

I haven't played it, but going from Dwarf Fortress > Gnomoria it looks pretty amazing to me ;)

I don't know, from what I remember, DF had quite good feedback.
(No, I'm not going back to check. I managed to escape its clutches once. If I go back in, I won't be able to do it again)
If Banished really only gives a single line in a tiny scroll window and a number that changes as only indication of a death, then that is bad feedback design. It doesn't have to be a popup window with an ok button, but something that draws the attention (going from a floating -1 text over church bells tolling to a real 'funeral' happening in your town) is sorely needed for this, especially in a game that's balanced the way this one seems to be.

I don't think they give you game downloads. The email includes the keys. I believe that the download is for some bonus wallpapers.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I realized pretty quick that they're just wallpapers, but it's still kind of ridiculous. No other bundle site that I can think of does the whole "grab your codes and downloads in 14 days, after that it's gone" thing. Even Indie Gala keeps your stuff up, they just won't give you customer support for bad keys after 60 days.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Reminded me of the old Strategy First "Bundles" they used to do a couple of years ago. Now THOSE were the worst. You only had I think 60 days to be able to download the games (which had additional DRM and no Steam keys). After that, you had to buy them again.

Oh, Stategy First....

I can also vouch for the Steamworld Dig's awesomeness. I sat down to play it yesterday and before I knew it I was watching the ending credits about 4 1/2 hours later. Super fun, will play again, A+.

I have yet to experience myself but I'm glad it will be released on more platforms since this give a chance for more people to try the game. I think PS4 and Vita will get the game soon.

I wonder if it's the type of game that would look good with CRT settings... :runs off to check SweetFX DB:

I can't believe that Ikaruga is on my screen. I need to grab x360ce real quick.

Awesome, right?
Works great with DS3/DS4 and DS3 SCP Server.
My one issue was having to change the buttons around... i now have polarity on L1/R1, fire on a/x (square/cross), and special on L2/R2.

Now I just need to figure out how to get better at chaining. Practice I guess.

Thanks to new Humble Bundle, it was time to check what keys hadn't used and let people enjoy some free games if they've missed getting them. Enjoy the games, or enjoy having again a bit bigger backlog.

Awesome giveaway. Unfortunately I was too slow to get Dustforce. :( But there is some great quality PC gaming to be had here.
