Adventure Time: Only 30% Off Because I DON'T KNOW! >.>
Steam is being weird, it doesn't recognise when I own a game either on the website or through Steam Client when it comes to store page or in the cart.
Also I would recommend not being fooled by Adventure Time, it's not a good game and just utterly empty of any real substance. At least from a game play perspective and someone who likes dungeon crawlers, I can't speak at all in regards to the show as I pay no attention to that.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams on the other hand is a strong platformer that makes good use of it's "shifting" between two styles to keep you busy. While not the most challenging in terms of platforming skill in the style of Super Mario speed runs or Super Meat Boy, it will satisfy those looking for a PS1/Saturn/Windows 95/98 era type platformer with a twist.

Looks the most interesting of the 3 so it got my vote. One thing I don't get though is how it's "an upcoming free-to-play" and yet it's up for a 50% off sale. Huh? Is there something I'm not getting?

I'm also downloading the Giana Sisters' demo. Sounds appealing.

It gets kinda repetitive and frustrating (though some recent updates have curbed the difficulty somewhat) but altogether it's a worthwhile platformer.
You could probably call it paid beta access but that seems a little reductive to me. Depending on what package you buy you get different items/skins for your character in game and an exclusive event/track for the highest tier. There are no microtransactions in the game as of yet.
FWIW I don't think the game was initially intended to be F2P. I've had my eye on the game for a few months and this is the first I'm hearing of it. I could be wrong though, of course.
Since when did you have to pay to play dota 2? I've never paid, and neither has any of my friends. We all had upwards of 30 dota keys lying around all the time.
Dota never really did that. Later on in the beta they offered a pack of items that gave beta access, but by then they had given so many invites and gift invites that access to the beta was not why you bought that pack.
Yay. As I said above, it's a strong platformer in the PS1/Saturn style era of mechanics which makes it quite fun to play. It's gimmick is the ability to switch between a "hot" and "cold" worlds and likewise between the two sisters which alters the world a bit, this is where most of the challenge comes from in the game.
There is a demo, so go ahead and download that and try it out for yourself. I won't lie and say the game is too much more than that, but it's still good fun and will offer enough variety in how the stages are laid out in what you don't see to keep going, plus any sense of completion desire platformers can cause.
I would have enjoyed it back in the day for £30 on my PS1, right there with Kolona and Rayman, for the reduced price now, it's an easy purchase. Not the greatest of it's type and I wouldn't recommend it over Rayman Origins and the like, but it's good and worth the time I spent on it.
There was definitely a time when Dota2 beta access was going for upwards of $20 on the community market.
im not sure what /s means or if it implies that this is a joke post. If not, to each its own, game looks awesome to me, and Im considering getting it myself

ah ok. you kids and your fancy internet slang
Collect the 10 snow globe trading cards and craft them into a badge and cross your fingers or buy them on the community market.
Not the same thing. You can buy access to any beta on sites like ebay, but it isn't the only way into the beta, and the dev never charged for them.
Yeah but that's not valve forcing you to pay 20 bucks to beta dota 2. That's like saying Blizzard is making you pay more than 100 bucks to beta hearthstone.
Maybe you should have quoted the guy who claimed it WAS the same thing?
I never said Valve forced anything holy shit you guys.
Friendly fire is on all the time which is hilarious. The game is much improved in coop, however it's super buggy, ran into so many loading screen crashes that we put the game down.
This was way before Dota keys were being given away to almost every player. There was definitely a price to play the game and it wasn't cheap either. I think it was $30
Don't cross the (laser) streams. Or do for shits and giggles.

Is there a thread or list somewhere of the most recommended indie games? Hidden gems if you will.

Excellent.
Yeah, anyone who wants to buy into the early access of a game that will be F2P because they want to help the developer doesn't need a discount, as it goes against that very idea. Simply being on the community vote is already getting the game its due exposure. I didn't know about it before and I'll definitely check it out when it's done.
Yeah i dont mind it.
Not really a fan of fighting games with loads of ultra and super moves
