So.. you are texting from the past... ;p

Indeed, I just think it would be better if we still got the same number of unlocked bonuses, but had more freedom to select which ones we wanted from a larger pool. It'd be sort of like build a bonus pack to go with the spirit of build a bundle.

would that not just make them normal games to select in the build a bundle and defeat the purpose of them being bonus items?

The bonuses would be the number of picks that were unlocked. It just strikes me as odd to purchase a game I have no intention of ever playing as part of a bundle that's designed around the freedom to buy a bundle of only games that I want.

You purchase just the games you want. You do not purchase the bonus games, they are just that, bonuses, given on top of your purchase. Whether you play them or not is off course completely up to you, but they are not your purchased games.

Thanks for the recommendation! I also noticed Grimind has a demo and one thing that I can confirm which sets it apart from Limbo is that I can actually run it on my rig. ;)

Not sure yet, whether I like it, but I haven't even played through the first level. I might give the demo another try tonight. Btw, is the main character some type of hedgehog? :D

um... I can go with hedgehog... yes...

Sonic with angst.

I'm gonna buy Darkout and Grimind. I'm also thinking about Enamel, Crow and Draconian Wars, but I don't have enough info about them.

Darkout and Grimind are the two I went with as they looked like the games I'd play the most out of the bunch.

I have not tried Crow and Draconian Wars yet, but Enamel is what I would consider OK. It is very much in the alpha stages yet, and it shows. It is a fairly standard 2D sidescrolling action platformer with some RPG elements. To be frank, I feel it is too early to say whether it is going to be good or not, but it does show promise. The controls are a little bit clunky, the level design so far is good enough, and the style is quite nice. If they manage to make a proper game out of it, it will be a nice metroidvania game. I think I can compare it to A Valley Without Wind, but probably a stronger narrative and not random generation. Well worth the extra money to add it, I think, if you are in doubt. But, yes, very much an alpha yet.

I feel like Enamel shouldve been in the Alpha funding bundle instead, it's very early in development and not worth playing in its current state IMO.

Darkout, Grimind, and Crow are all solid, as long as you don't mind Crow being a iOS port.

Talking about alpha versions: Will Groupees replace the files with updated versions once they are out?

The most disturbing thing about Enamel is that according to their Greenlight announcements the game was supposed to come out in January but they had to delay it because of various issues, and set the next official release date for April. Now, imagine my shock when I downloaded the game from Groupees and it turns out to be in the state it is in. The setup file says it's 0.7.2 and the new announcement reads "Due to some heavy problems, we had to take a very big step back in order to move forward again. Currently, the game went back to the early Beta phase. "

Gaah! But I still look forward to it - it seems like metroid+abuse+alien but with crappy animations ;D
I want to believe!

Thank you guys for sharing your opinion on these games, I think I'll buy them all 5.
