PolarityFlow brings in a whole bunch of exciting newcomers today. From releases to entire bundles, you’ll surely find something for yourself!

You can now get:
PolarityFlow's Metroidvania Bundle (-30%)
PolarityFlow's Shmup Bundle (-30%)
Steel Rain Complete (-30%)
Sky Mercenaries (-30%)
Cyber Complex (-30%)
Cryogear (-30%)

All launch discounts end on December 12th, 2 PM UTC.

Now on GOG!
Now if only there wasn't some way to tell which game from which at a glance. Oh well, it isn't like there's a such thing as rich HTML.

So ignoring the worthless bundles, that's what, just four games then?

Let's see here:
Steel Rain: Looks like a bad version of Gradius. Can't tell where the ship is in most screenshots, trailer was so obnoxiously edited that I gave up.

Sky Mercenaries: It looks like Raptor or Demon Star, but they forgot Area 88 (U.N. Squadron) was a sideways shooter.

Cyber Complex: I'm hacking the Gibson! ...But how is that supposed to happen?

Cryogear: I love my games with that pseudo, "Damn, I guess it's time to throw this ratty old television out and get a new flatscreen" filter on it. Scanlines are bad enough (I recall many televisions having aperture grilles or shadowmasks that weren't visible, unless under severe duress or wear.), the chromatic aberration is just special touch of "and screw your eyes, too, Dorthy!" That sort of effect only happened if you were overdriving the color channels so they were blowing out of phase with their dots/lines of the phosphors.
Has anyone played Cyber Complex? I can't find any reviews about the game.

Do you like GOG?
GOG isn't making a place for itself for a number of reasons, including choices that I consider catastrophic (Linux after-sales service, Gog Galaxi, removal of features from the site, etc.) and that have made me slowly switch to Steam, but that's my personal situation.

I ask this question because on the social networks where developers and most gamers can be found, when you ask if there could be a version of their game on GOG two things usually happen, the first is having to explain what GOG is because its popularity is low, and the second is the development team explaining that there are a lot of bad reviews on small games (to put it politely, it's usually more salty).

What I'm thinking right now may be wrong or just part of the problem, but gamers aren't coming because there aren't enough games, and developers are finding it hard to come because there's less wind from a GOG version than from a Linux version on Steam, (and I should point out that on Steam a Linux version is useless because with Proton I can play 95% of Windows games).

I'd like to tell you that even if a game that arrives on GOG seems really bad to you, you should take a step back and think that some people here might like it, and also think that a lot of developers will read you and cancel their releases on GOG or withdraw their games from the store.

Obviously, more games means more players, more players means more sales, more sales means more developers with their games.

The games aren't incredible at first glance, but there's a fluidity, a personal touch, and the price isn't pretentious.
I'm going to try out these games since the developers have created an additional Linux version just for GOG, to make up my own mind.
