Leroux: Unless anyone can convince me that Eets is a great game that's fun playing and good to own a DRM-free copy of (maybe I'll try the demo later on), I'll skip this one, too.

grviper: Demo does give a good idea of what the game is about.
Yeah, I just gave it a try. Not bad, but not really exciting either. I think I'll rather buy Ultima VII instead. ;)

Instant purchase. Blackwell games sold it to me. Dino D Day was kind of torn apart on release. I don't know if they patched it up much in the meantime. But I suppose it's worth a look.

deadfolk: Weird. I don't have it there - maybe it's not working yet for those who didn't preorder.
You get the soundtrack if you made the price drop - when your payment is marked with star (afaik, it's above 7 euros).

Paying above the minimum, but not enough to drop the price, won't give you the soundtrack.

SimonG: For me it's below the games and above the settings. It says "Thank you for preodering" in an extra title/header. It's not in the "games" section. Confused me in the last bundle too

I don't think paying above the minimum is enough to get the bonus. The main page says "Contribute enough to drop the price" and according to the FAQ: "Stars determine how much you'll knock the price down for everyone else". So if I'm understanding correctly when you bought the bundle you should move the slider at least to the "iron star" mark in order to drop the price.

Edit: ninja'd took to long to type my post =/
Edit #2: since you can't increase your order amount with this bundle and even if you could maybe it'd still be too expensive for you to make the price drop you can consider purchasing the music album directly from the bandcamp site. It asks for a donation of at least $3 in case you are interested.

Yeah...I obviously didn't read that properly! I'll check it out on bandcamp - thanks for pointing that out.

Finally! GOG finally let me post again without 404ing the page. So the first post has been updated.

I'm pretty pleased overall, the Blackwell games alone look awesome. Only disappointment is... ugh... Dino D-Day.

I just found out the game isn't supported on Garry's Mod. :(

Oh well!

I spent about 45 minutes with it today, and I don't think I'd try to convince anyone to do the same. It's not that it's a terrible game through and through -- somewhere in there is a perfectly decent Lemmings-style puzzler -- but it's so sloppy (and obsessed with its own wackiness) that any potential joy is sapped right out of the experience.

Ha. And I thought the bundle would include Limbo.

Supposedly there were some major fixes and patches that came to Dino D-Day after TotalBiscuit's "WTF Is..." video for the game. I just hope that the Allies get to have some fricking dinosaurs now.

The problem isn't that the Allies didn't have dinosaurs (which they now have one dino class), the problem is that the dinosaurs are really crummy to play with. The only remotely fun one is the velociraptor, and that's because it's a clone of the Hunter from Left4Dead. The other dinosaurs are wretched. Who wants to play a class where you're a huge target and your only effective weapon is to throw goats at other players.

Looks like a pretty bad bundle imo. Only game I am interested in is Eets, not sure if it is worth getting it for that alone though.
Posted December 12, 2011
Purchased. The Oil Blue's dev is a nice guy whose games never really sold well. Hope this works out great for him :)

Anyone wants to trade Eets (already have it) and Dino D-Day (not interested) Steam key for Really Big Sky and/or Runespell?

Edit: I also have steam keys of Sanctum (from the second royale bunde), Dungeons of Dredmor (from HIB), and Zombie Shooter 1 (from Indie Gala) for trade.

ovoon: Hmm, I'll pass on this one. Blackwell looks pretty good but the voice acting gets to me.
I'm not sure which version has the voice acting you're referring to, but this release did have a lot of voice acting redone.

I don't think it's that bad, honestly. I've only found one character I thought was badly voiced, and she wasn't in it long.
