As far as I know, no, you cannot get the games you missed.
It's worth waiting for, though. Knowing GOG, they might make these games available again later some months down the road.

Yes, most of the first batch was only redeemable for 5 days I believe (only Defender's Quest, Door Kickers and Kona are available now) and if you missed them, you're out of luck unless they offered again at some later point in time.

Other limitation some people have mentioned is that Steam API does not list owned DLC's so only base games so you won't be able to get DLC's thru GOG Connect.

Well, it's not entirely up to GOG as devs and publishers have to agree to it. Many already sell DRM free+Steam key thru other shops though, so I don't see why they would not.

They haven't put it in a place that is easy to find and navigate to, so one either needs to bookmark it, or search the news articles or forums to find the URL, or wait until they release more games and post it again. I wish they would put things like this directly in the top right "ACCOUNT" menu so it is easy to navigate to whether or not there is anything currently available, that way more people would find it easier, and people would see it often enough or on occasion and click on it just to see if anything new is available.

It's just as obscure as the "RECLAIM" link that almost nobody knows where to find (it's at the bottom of the REDEEM page).

They certainly aren't featured in big shiny letters at the top of the screen, but both the Connect and Reclaim programs have a link in the main page.

When I wrote the above, the main page on the website only had "REDEEM CODE" at the nav link at the bottom of the page, "RECLAIM YOUR GAME" was not ever there, however it appears that they must have seen my request and they appear to have gracefully added a link for it to the bottom of the page so that's pretty cool to see so fast!

There is a purple bar for GOG Connect there now, I don't think that was present when I write the above but I can't be certain.

Within GOG Galaxy client however, things are different, there are no nav links at the bottom of the main store page at all, so RECLAIM YOUR GAME doesn't appear anywhere at all, and that purple GOG Connect bar that appears on the website is nowhere to be found inside Galaxy client either. Hopefully they'll fix that in the client also since they're trying to promote its usage, so I presume feature parity is important. Might not be the highest priority in the short term though understandably. Documenting it here just so they're aware, as that seemed to work last time. :)

I'm pretty sure that "RECLAIM YOUR GAME" link has been there for a long time, but feel free to think GOG staff has made a modification to the website design at a user's request in a matter of minutes or hours... :P

Hmmm, I don't see no purple bar for GOG Connect... Only one for the Summer Sale XP thing at the top, and the usual one for GOG Galaxy separating the sale deals from the regular stuff. There's a "NEW GAMES ON GOG CONNECT" in a small box as if it were a featured game though, and that's what I was referring to.

Oh, right, I don't use Galaxy so I don't know how things look in it (and even if I cared, I couldn't as there's no Galaxy client for Linux *glares at GOG*).
If they're quite different as you say, that sucks big time.

I can assure you that it wasn't or I wouldn't have said it in the first place.

Just checked and the only purple bar is for GOG Galaxy now as you said.

The client being web browser based uses web content for it's display, but it isn't identical to what shows on the website in that it is devoid of all of the top and bottom navigation links, actually the entire header and footer are gone, with the top being a custom header just for the client, and the footer being nothing at all. The main content area is similar but lacks any GOG Galaxy advertisement presumably because you're already using Galaxy if you're using Galaxy. :)

There is a small icon box with GOG Connect in it below the featured release section which is probably what you mentioned above. Link seems to work. Anything that shows up as content will vanish over time though, leaving no way to navigate to the page, unless they plan on always having the icon box advertising CONNECT when it has active titles present.

It might be a sensible idea to put a GOG Connect bar or nav link at the top of one's game library page, as that'd likely be a good clutter free place to trigger people into thinking of checking - while they're looking at their library.
