Any idea how long the "limited time only sale" is?

Going away tomorrow for a couple of days, will be more than likely picking this up at the weekend (hopefully for 800 :D) .

Unfortunately I couldn't fit it into the thread title and have it still make sense, but November 21st is the day the price goes up.

He could have a Saturn pad. Anyone know how much it will be for PC? It's a bummer I have to wait a month (no xbox). This looks fantastic.

Edit: Oh, I see what you were saying now.

Holy cow..this game has not even been on my radar. But after seeing some videos and it now being 800 points...Day freaking one.

Fantastic - my points card will be here by then. Decided on Costume Quest (if demo good) then this as I really don't need controller breaking in work breaks but will love it like my own child once the work is done.

I guess someone visited the 1200 pt/$15 DD game thread or something, because I sure as hell wasn't gonna bother with this game at 1200 pts but definitely will at 800 pts. Great move
Exactly. Instabuy.

Why would I play a 2d platformer with analog sticks when I can use a good Dpad?
The analog stick is the developers' preferred control method for the game.

Dear Everyone: Just because its a platformer, it doesn't mean you can't play it with an Analog stick. Ed and I use the Analog exclusively.

its actually better with the analog.. honestly. youll see when you get it
 
They're probably working in good use of the sensitivity of analog...?

I remember the old meat boy game being obnoxious on PC with my keyboard because I would have to do super-quick taps in order to make those small adjustments the game required to get past the difficult stages. Tap too little - don't go anywhere. Tap a little too much - fall down the ledge.

I think its mostly because there's no up or down. Left and right are your only directions so its perfectly playable with an analog stick.

Day fucking one, for the price of a plain med or so cheese pizza here in NYC, these guys DESERVE your support. Make them millionaires.


I didn't even know about this gem til today.


"We hope you guys appreciate this early xmas gift," says developer Team Meat. "Your positive comments, fan art, and donations when Edmund was in the hospital have been greatly appreciated. We are more than happy to give a little back."


This is what it's all about, time to fucking make them make it big time.

I must say, some great games really come out of nowhere. Never heard of this game before i watched Brad's quick look.

I think dropping the price is smart given all the crazy high reviews its getting. They could be on the verge of a mega-hit.

Im gonna buy it, and i rarely buy XBL stuff. Last 2 games i got were case zero and Limbo. Thats was it for this year on XBL.
 
When it comes out for the other consoles I'll decide if it plays better on a joystick. I don't really care how a developer plays something, I like 2d games with a Dpad.

Oh cool, thought I had less than 800 points on my live account, turns out I have a bit over 1000. I hope this deal isn't just for gold members is it?

I hate Microsoft's shitty Allards system. I have 1060 points in my account. The system is basically designed so that you always have some useless amount of points left.
Whoa, that's the exact same amount that I have :lol .

So, the other systems release is set to some time in November?

Looks like it's late november, and the WiiWare version is not really confirmed to be released that date, from what I've read.
I hate this one month exclusivity crap: first Lara Croft, now this!
And Steam users probably won't get the 33% discount...

800 pts is a great price. Its been a while since I've played a good platformer. Ill check this sucker out tomorrow.
 
I was on the fence about this game, and then I saw it would be $10. And as I was teetering off of it, I listened to some of the 8-bit tracks and flew off the fence at 100mph.
