Soundodger is a game about dodging music as it comes at you.
Think a slower paced, less psychedelic (but imo, more beautiful) Super Hexagon where the obstacles are guided/created by the rhythm of the music.
woo and indeed hoo

You're welcome.
Can you select your own music or is it the one in the game?
You're welcome.
Damn!
I need 6 and 8
and have a spare 4 and 10.
Thanks

Finished Brothers. Man, that was really enjoyable. Probably could have used an extra scenario or two since I wrapped it up in about 2 and half hours. As far as the story,
Pretty good game, handling two characters is novel and fairly well executed I think. A bit difficult initially when I couldn't keep track of what I was pushing when. At least I can see where people are coming from when they say its one of the best things they've ever played. Still dumbfounded by Gone Home though
I expected the big brother to die and that's what happened, despite the predictability the way the aftermath was played out was pretty moving. Having to bury him was pretty morbid, actually. I tried wiggling the left stick as I was dragging him with little bro and nothing happened. I got excited when the little owl griffon dude showed up (this thing is seriously one of the cutest things I've ever seen, the sound it makes <3), I thought that might mean there's a way for things to come back to life but it didn't play out that way. Using big bro to swim that section was a nice touch and having to redo the first section solo... right in the feels, man. It occured to me right at the end that neither the mother nor older brother are in buried beneath their tombstones, then I felt bad for the dad. The ending would have came on a bit stronger had the game not been as short but I reckon it was still pretty strong.

I'm enjoying Long Live the Queen. It's a visual novel/bar-filling skill-check game, but there's a lot of unexpected situations and outcomes. My first try I got pretty far but had no real way to combat the last situation, and on my second try I attempted to prepare for my folly from the first game, but ended up dying on something simple because I didn't train for it. I recommend it for people who like visual novel type games.
Damn... I didn't vote for it, but I hope it wins now.
Hmm, looks like it could be fun, although it seems like it would play better with touch controls (note: I could be completely wrong about this)

I know it goes against the spirit of the steam sales, but I actually finished one of the games I bought over the xmas period. Brothers - A Tale of Sons. What a joyous, melancholic, whimsical, sad, amusing, ethereal experience. Definitely jumps into my top 10 games played this year. It's rare to go into a game with zero expectations and no idea how it works mechanically, but it really is a treat to see something unfold in the most unusual, but delightful way. Wonderful game.
As for the rest of my games. They'll fester in my backlog, mocking me for throwing money at them and knowing they'll never be completed in any reasonable amount of time. Still, nice to be able to beat at least one steam game this year.

Yeah, that could work well.
It's impossible with a controller.
It's actually not that great of a game, I liked it at first and then it was just, bleh.
The must selection is fantastic though.
Completely playable with mouse, slightly less playable with a gamepad.
Custom music generation is/was? a bit wonky, but the included patterns are fine for at least a few hours of fun.

Don't Starve is so addictive. I keep neglecting sanity in favor of exploration at breakneck speed.

How is Long Live the Queen? Is the writing in it particularly good?
I'm trying to get into the game but it just doesn't click with me. It also does not help I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

I bought Beatbuddy, couldn't resist the price, seems like a nice puzzle platformer ala Aquaria, hope it's good.

It's not offensive if you are worried about being drowned in "pervy" and "moe". The dialogue is very straightforward about the precariousness of the situation, the possible threats lurking in innocent gifts and nobles/travelers. It does a good job of framing the main character as someone who is very delicate to approach despite how much she has to learn. The classes also provide nice bits of information about the kingdom and the lands beyond. I've been at it for three hours and died somewhere around the 28ish week mark twice already iirc. I think it shouldn't be too hard to get a solid 10 hours out of the game if you read things carefully and search up what moods produce the best bonuses. I like to take my time so it may be longer than that for me.
That's the thing though. It is your objective. Trying to survive the game. Set up camp. Explore the map. Now granted there is an extra objective which I won't spoil, but I'd suggest giving yourself little goals. Like making it through the winter. Or crafting a certain item.
Nice, done!
Sorry, Someguyinahat was faster and snatched the 6 away ><
Red neon lights everywhere?
Shit, sorry. I completely forgot. Got caught up in the moment, special circumstances.

This steam sale is The next gen i needed
No. Since you own them. There's no way to "hide" titles unless you put them in different categories and collapse them.
Chalk it up to another thing the client needs to be upgraded for (the other being 64-bit support)
I can do a 10 for a 6
Open Steam\resource\layout\gamespage_grid.layout and change "interiorspacing" to -1 (or your preferred value). Some may say that changing the value in the skin's own layout file is also necessary but in my experience the former has priority.

Bah, I really hoping for the Puppy Games cards to go down in price after being a Humble Bundle.

Right now only thing I want off GMG is Jack Keane 2 which I'm getting now.

I really should have picked up Rocksmith 2014 when it was on the daily sale. I had no idea what it was until after the sale expired.
They will disappear after the sale ends.

Thought I'd spend multiple cents on some globes to get the XP needed to level up to 5, but I get this notice for everything I try to buy.
Trying it on the Steam client tells me I might not have cookies enabled... what? Why aren't they letting me spend my money on this pointless shit?

It did fix horizontal, but not vertical.
