All of everything is back, plus some new stuff.

It's the incredible, the amazing, the stunning Indie Piñata Grande Finale!

Welcome to the final blowout. It's 24 hours of every deal and Pinata so far, all to bring this weeklong event to its grande conclusion. Among these exceptional offers is the return of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - now in an all-new, totally improved Unreal Engine 4 <span class="bold">Redux</span> edition. There's the most delicious combination of words in gaming, also known as Sunless Sea, and of course - there is a handful of completely new Piñatas so you can keep on whackin' on!





What is the Indie Piñata?
The Indie Piñata is a whacky gaming sale brought to you by Crunching Koalas and GOG.com, a weeklong celebration of diverse indie games - organised to help gamers (you) discover great indie titles without breaking the bank. Instead, we'll break the Piñata! A lot.


There's so much stuff.
There's stuff alright, with plenty of video game stuffing.
We've got a hefty selection of deals up to 80% off - all indies, all highly recommended - this includes titles like Kerbal Space Program (-33%), NEO Scavenger (-50%), Legend of Grimrock 2 (-75%), and MouseCraft (-80%), so that you can pick and choose what you play (but it's probably best to get them all just in case).



Whack your Piñata!
If you're fond of surprises, for $3 (or your local equivalent), you can grab your own 100% whackable Piñata and find a random indie wonder inside - handpicked by us and Crunching Koalas. The Piñata can include games anywhere from $9.99 to $44.99, so there's a deal (and a satisfying POP) behind every swing - and we’ll be ready to congratulate those of you who show off your discounted gains on Twitter with the hashtag #IndiePinata!




The Promo and Piñata include a completely separate batch of games, so there's plenty of variety and surprises - we'll also rotate the Promo and Piñata lineup after three days, just so that things don't get too stale. The Indie Piñata promo will last until 9/18/2015, 9:59AM GMT. Just remember - check yourself, before you whack yourself.
Batter up!

hyperagathon: OK, so I bought one and got Shelter, a game most decidedly not for Linux. Hm, perhaps someone would be willing to trade me for Halfway. Or I'll just do a profit-from-my-bad-luck giveaway.
thank you for the answer...
that is not good really, they create gog galaxy that recognizes the OS and prevent you from adding games in wine wrapper, so it must be a piece of cake to add recognize OS to pinata promotion.

Not being able to see if I own the games BEFORE checking out is a joke. I'm not interested in getting unwanted and unknown gifts, especially when I consider the time it takes support to react. (weekend, hey!)

Ichwillnichtmehr: So I bought 25 Pinatas at once (don't judge me), and I got:
(...)
Only 2 of those games I didn't already own, Volgarr and Lumino City, and those I got 2 times.
If you do something like this often then I think I know why you chose the name "Ichwillnichtmehr". :)

SirPrimalform: Yes, but will we be informed before paying? You make it sound like we don't find out until after payment, which means at any point I might end up buying a game I already own...
No, we won't be informed before paying. I think that would be missing the point of this promo. :)

Even a vague "chance of already owning game in piñata: (x)%" message would've been nice.

Random indies I potentially already own and didn't even want to begin with? Nooo thanks.

Well, that probably would have been a good idea. :)

I bought 3 at one go. I likes to gamble. I got:

Randall's Monday
Dust
Halfway

Not too bad.

Now to check out the tracker thread to see if there's anything left worth $3.

So tempted, but I've got so much stuff all over the place (here, Humble, Steam, etc.) that I'd be crazy to do this just to try to score the few I don't have. But if you get lucky, it certainly would be a great deal! I just know I don't have much in the way of luck.

My (somewhat facetious) catchphrase: I wasn't born with any luck, so I get through life on pure skill. ;)

If that was the case, I would have chosen the name "Esgibtnichtsmehr" ;)

Me neither. Besides, nothing good ever comes from flogging a dead horse at GOG.com.

When this is over, it would be interesting to see a comparison how how this promo does compared to the mutation one from last year. Simply put, I doubt people are willing to risk much money. Last year people dug through page source to find what games they were getting(in addition it warned you about games you owned)

I'd be curious as to how many are trying to get refunds as well. Sure you say your giving gifts. But I don't care to be stuck with just a bunch of gifts when there are a few titles I don't own yet. I also just don't care about gifting random titles. If you say I can always trade . . . it's easier said then done sometimes.

Hell, I broke and asked for store credit. I don't need the money back, I'll spend it on something else, something I know I want to play :) Hopefully the will grant the store credit. I didnt download any of the games yet so .... :)

ricki42: Is there a way of telling what platforms the pinatas are available on? I'm using Linux, and I don't want to get a Windows-only game.

hyperagathon: Did you get a reply to this? I was just wondering about the same thing. Basically, does this thing detect the OS or should I stop even thinking about wasting $3?
Didn't get a reply but I don't think it limits the OS; I saw a tweet by someone why said they got a Windows-only game when they don't have Windows.
I guess you can ask for a refund, but I don't want to go through that so I'm staying away from this.
