I might be in for a 4 pack, i'm just... i'm trying to decide if i'm going to be able to put up with those eyesore graphics long enough to enjoy it. That interface is making RPGM2K blush.

CC has better SP, but MDV was built around competitive play. It's comparable to Super Puzzle Fighter.
fyi, you can get FTL at the humble store (steam key & DRM free version) for the same price as steam store.

I can't believe I'm just now hearing about The Ship. It sounds so awesome!

Sadly there's only like 15-20 people playing it at any given time.
Like somebody already mentioned, can you guys explain why? I've only heard good things about it.
It's not terrible. It's just a repetitive game with limited appeal. Art is great, but the few puzzles in the game are simple. Combat is boring. For the most part it's "lean right on the d-pad and jump occasionally" interspersed with some "move this object so you can jump up to this ledge" etc. The story is dumb and the ending was D grade Shyamalan nonsense.
I finished it, but I'm not sure if that makes it a compelling game, or that I barely registered walking my way through it so I figured I'd just keep leaning on the d-pad until it was over.
Fuck, I just bought it on Steam. Oh well, I wasn't going to use the DRM-free version anyway...

So is Magical Drop 5 much better now? I remember reading complaints about it. Haven't played the series since 3, which I go back to every now and then.
Edit: Imma just cop it anyway. Saw people mention a huge patch soon.

Just finished To The Moon after buying it from this sale (in one sitting!). I really enjoyed it, if anyone's on the fence I'd definitely say it's worth the $4.
I bought it yesterday, dunno why, still don't like it
But it is cheap
Also bought Recettear and Half minute hero. First I like, played some and heard good things about second

Deponia is fun so far - do you love point and click? I mean really really love? Then you should get it. If you are on the borderline, maybe something like Gemini Rue or one of the classics like Loom or Monkey Island is safer for someone who isn't big into the genre.
Man, for the amount of games people buy during sales, at least from the sample size of my Steam friend list (mostly GAFfers) nobody actually plays the indie games. I can look at "Friends most played games" and it is always something like Team Fortress 2 or DOTA 2 or Max Payne 3 or whatever.

Yes and I actually enjoyed it. It's a fun game with bad music and menu ui, but I really liked the gameplay. I went in not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it is a little on the shorter side, I was happy enough with it to see it through to the end which is rare for me with indie games. $4 might be a little steep considering its age and previous sale prices, but I could at least say it was worth that much to me.

More great games to add to your backlog that you will never ever play.

Interesting, will check what its cheapest it was and decide by the end of sale to get it or not.
Thanks for the info.

This.
So far, I just picked up Magical Drop & No Time to Explain. Will there be daily deals that change like summer/winter sales?

Played this game during the holidays, I will just write what I remember.
Positive:
Graphics (looks very good)
3-4 hours to finish (thank god it doesn't take longer to end this boring game)
Negative:
I really like zombie games, but this one is just boring and frustrating at times. It starts good,but as you progress you realise that all you do is run and jump. A few times you shoot zombies, but most of the times it's about timing your jumps right or you are dead. There is a story, but I don't remember it as it was not interesting.
Funfactor is zero. Don't buy this game.

It takes a while to get used to. I only just broke 60 seconds on Hexagoner on my phone (2nd difficulty). Third one is definitely kicking my butt. Not sure how I'm going to fare on the Steam copy I bought a while back, but I did beat the first stage at 66 seconds or so.
I bought it last night, yeah. I can't comment on its quality, as I haven't played it yet and don't plan on doing it anytime soon.
I refuse to buy anything on Steam that doesn't have a Linux port (even if I mostly play on Windows at the moment) so cheers for that, +1. Out of interest how difficult did you guys find the porting process?
I have it on the Wii Virtual Console, so can't speak on the PC port, but it's pretty good fun. Has some nice music and it's a fun little arcadey style game that lets you run around and shoot stuff really quickly. If you have $5 kicking around to spend you could do a lot worse.

Not good enough to warrant the long development time and prelease hype, there are reasons no one talks about it anymore. While it looks like fun the gameplay is simplistic, missions are short and unoriginal gameplaywise (with some hefty difficulty spikes at the end even after patch) and I didn't find all the reference very funny. More annyoing, like Family Guy. 'Hey, remember xyz? Yeah? LOL, right?' Calling it bad would be an exaggeration, let's say average and if it looks interesting to you 5$ is okay.

Nice...just what I want to hear, lol.
I'll be purchasing it sometime today...probably when I get back from buying a controller for my PC.
Only things that caught my interest were Magical Drop V and Kentucky Route Zero but I still had a lot of Wallet cash left from when I sold some TF2 items so I ended up buying Bioshock Infinite. I'm terrible and I tend to buy things I want immediately instead of waiting for sales so I own most of what I was interested in or would have bought.
For most people I think $2.50 (-75%) is gonna be the right price point rather than $4, but I do recommend the game. I liked it enough to 100% it and had a fun little time with it. My Steam recommendation.
If I had to pick one, FLY'N is probably the cheap standout title in the sale that not enough of my friends own.

So, are the daily featured games actually extra cheap or does the price stay the same?
In other words, should I wait for daily deals or not?

I bought too much shit:
The bad part is that i still want to buy other stuff (to the moon) but i mustn't give in.

Din's Curse and Depths of Peril are Diablo-likes right? Din's Curse seems to be a bit more modern it looks like?
Might bite on one of those and Valley Without Wind pack. Kind of in the mood for something indie, but more...persistent? RPG-ish? than your typical indie puzzle platformer.
I have Krater, but talk about all-style and no substance...
