Underwater wonders to wander on your own terms.

<span class="bold">Aquaria</span>, a metroidvania underwater adventure, is available now on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

We hardly think about it daily, but the mysteries of the deep sea right beneath our feet remain just as alien to us as the farthest reaches of our solar system. And where the unknown begins, our imagination starts to wander, and the world of Aquaria begin to fascinate.
Aquaria is a game about exploring both the deepest, darkest recesses of the sea and the sunlit expanses of underwater havens. Equal parts game and audio-visual experience, it's a critically acclaimed adventure that's out to challenge, delight you with a beautiful wide world to explore, and treat you with respect by letting you do so on your own terms. Aside from gamers' hearts, Aquaria stole the show during the prestigious 2007 Independent Games Festival where it was awarded first place for Excellence in Audio, Excellence in Visual Art, Design Innovation as well as the big grand prize as best of show. As one most acclaimed indie productions in recent years, there's no better place for Aquaria than a digital shelf on GOG.com.

Experience an underwater metroidvania with <span class="bold">Aquaria</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com. You can take advantage of the 50% launch discount for the first week, until Tuesday, August 11, 12:59 PM GMT.
Hmm, I already have this on Humble, but since it was part of a bundle and I most likely paid far too little for it, I should probably buy it again.

Luned: It's not a "race through each level", it's more "explore each level and find secrets". The storyline is pretty good. If you race through it, it would be a mistake.

tinyE: COOL

Thanks Luned
Yep, I'm not much of a platformer person (fast-twitch is not my strong suit), but Aquaria, Trine, and UnEpic are among the few I do really enjoy.
Exploration? Nice Graphics? HA! Freddi Fish 2 did all of these things a decade before this game came out. GOG, please release the real game already instead of these obvious clones.
Well, it took nearly no time to get this one... *devil*
I'm pretty sure I've had this DRM-free on Humble for a very long time. I'll get it here eventually, but only at significant discount.

Already have this game on Steam so i'll pass. :D

I haven't played it yet so it's about time to give this one a try.
Yay! This is one of the best games I know.

Fever_Discordia: Sweet!
I think this is one of Barry's most wanted so he'll be happy, I've played it a bit on Steam - it's like a 'metrovania' platformer without the platforming because you're swimming underwater, nice game though!

tinyE: Are there any RPG or adventure elements because it does look like a standard platformer, meaning racing through each level, face boss, next level, face boss repeat...
It's like Super Metroid made a baby with Ecco the dolphin, and said baby was then read Lovecraft stories every night before bed. So it's Super Metroid underwater with some slight horror elements sprinkled throughout.
Better late than never :D
Finally Aquaria arrived here yayy.. :-D
Barry Woodward is gonna be happy, I believe this was one of the games he wished to see here :)

Great release GOG.
Far out, GOG! It is the dawning of the age of AQUARIA! :D

This one is on my "other place" back log... I played it a bit and liked it, but haven't ever finished it. Might need to start again soon.
Wow, now THAT'S an old one! :D

Played a bit of it, didn't go to the end but it's nice.

How did THIS game get a higher release priority than Necrodancer?

Cripes! Maybe steam DRM is worth it. They patch on time, their catalogue is larger, and they don't announce already-released games then sit on them for months.

By the time you release Necrodancer, it WILL be an old game!
