It never struck me as an actual bug. In fact, I probably never even would have noticed it if not for the complaints in Gaf threads. Even if it is an issue of technical incompetence, it's so easily avoided by:
1. Getting good at killing things efficiently
2. Finding bonfires which are always 2 feet away
3. Always having back-up weapons you feel comfortable with
4. Not hitting corpses like a scrub

Hell, I don't even need to switch to backup weapons, most weapons(except katanas) can last through fights just fine.

I didn't even vote for Gurumin on Greenlight. I just joined the group and left a comment. I knew that they wouldn't be sifting through everyone's profile to see if they voted for them.

I don't think that's even possible, could lead to bad things if it were.

Gurumin keys for people who voted Greenlight and joined the group:

Greenlight Supporters! Your Free Codes Are Ready
March 30 - Mastiff
Happy Launch Day, everyone!

We at Mastiff understand that there may have been some confusion regarding the instructions and steps required to be elegible for a free Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure Steam key.

When we announced the Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure greenlight campaign we promised a free code to everyone who voted for us, registered in the Gurumin group, and posted to let us know they had voted. But in the Gurumin group itself our instructions weren't clear. That left some users concerned that they wouldn't be receiving their free key.

We want to make sure that everyone is happy. So... We are awarding a key to EVERYONE who helped us get Gurumin through Steam Greenlight and ALSO to registered users who joined the Gurumin Steam group up through last week! This means that we are tossing the comment part out the window. We would rather give away a few extra keys to those of you who supported us than leave legitimate supporters who just failed to post empty-handed.

How awesome is that?!
Consider it a token of our gratitude!


To get your Gurumin Steam key, proceed to the following URL:

http://top3line.com/gurumin_steam_codes/

From the redemption page, click on the icon that says "Sign in through Steam" to sign in to your Steam account and receive your free Steam code for Gurumin!
Please note: Mastiff WILL NOT keep your Steam login information or use your profile data for any purpose other than checking for Gurumin Steam key elegibility.


Thank you all who participated and made this possible! And if you enjoy the game, please consider telling your friends about Gurumin. We need and appreciate your support!


Happy Adventuring!

It says "Reloaded" on the key page for some reason, but it is for Gurumin.

I completed another game:



I was pleasantly surprised by The Bridge. The controls are very simple, but the puzzles get quite tricky.

On a gamepad, the left stick controls your character while the triggers rotate the world. That combines with physics and perspective tricks to make for some good challenges. You may need to rotate a level enough to get around to one side, but while making sure a key doesn't fall off of the level from its precarious perch.

I thought that the difficulty level personally was a really satisfying curve that kept each puzzle feeling like an accomplishment without getting too hard...until the last level; I had to actually look up that single solution. My girlfriend watched and helped with some puzzles, so it only took about 2 hours or so to complete the main game.

I recommend it, but I wouldn't spend more than $5 (50% off).

Looks like it's $3 right now on the IndieGala store.

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.

I wonder if they regret doing this promotion, now that any old crap game can pass through greenlight.

Not as much as they'd probably regret it if they promised keys then failed to deliver. Glad they came through, grabbed mine. The game looks fun and I'll give it a chance.

really? i thought the difficulty curve was specially bad about that game

like every "world" had like 5 or 6 levels and never got too in depth with its specific mechanics

the other big problem with the game was how frigging slow everything was which made experimenting awfully tedious

i really disliked the bridge :I

Got my gurumin key. Man, I kinda feel bad for it. I hope they sell a lot.

As for DOA5 it runs 60fps with no dip (except cutscene when it forced 30) on my laptop at: fullscreen, 1366x768, shadow on, shadow res 1024x2014, no AA.
My spec:
i5 2.2ghz
geforce 630m
8gb ram

It runs much better than I expected.

Those are valid points.

I usually hate it when games are slow like that, but I think that the ability to rewind when experimenting so that you only have to re-do the last thing you did usually instead of restarting the puzzle made up for the sluggish controls.

Having two minds working on the puzzles at once in my case may have resulted in less trial and error as well, I'd imagine.

EDIT: I see you gave a good review to The Swapper, which is my favorite puzzle game of the past year or so probably.

I searched the thread hoping to find impressions of Joylancer because I was considering getting it from the IndieGala bundle. Instead, I found a giveaway with a key no one had taken. (Thank you, FiveElementNinja!)



Joylancer is basically an action platform that pays homage to the 8-bit NES era, but it's a lot smoother than an actual 8-bit game from back then would have been, I think. Everything looks, sounds, and controls very well.

The game is still in Early Access, and there are a couple of indicators of that (such as a sign showing no text when you're prompted to read), but it's surprisingly solid and polished so far.

I got through the first area, and it didn't auto-save, so I'm not sure if it has a save function at all (I hope there is!) or if it's meant to be played old-school and beaten in one sitting. I'm guessing it auto-saves at some point, because there are other modern concessions included - such as a hit count (which can be disabled). If anyone knows, please respond. (Edit: Saving was taken out, but it's coming back in.)

There's also a 4-color mode you can select to give the game even more of a retro feel, but I haven't tried that yet.

It's fun so far! Easily worth the ridiculously low Gala asking price (and you get other games with it as well).

That Amazon/NBA2k15 deal went on for about a minute. I'm not even sure if they put the digital code on sale.

Whatevs. I put that money towards Demon's Souls. I think I came out on top.

I'll stop you!

I bought the game on a 40% off sale I think. I have been really looking forward to it and happened to buy a couple nice dance pads on black friday.

I still haven't started the game. It's just because it's early access and they haven't even released the 4th/final level/boss. As soon as they release it, I'm going to play, but wouldn't you hate to finally beat level 3 and then have the game end immaturely? That's what's keeping me from it anyways.
