Planet Permadeath.

Risk of Rain, a procedurally generated action-packed platformer with brilliant, challenging gameplay and appealing retro graphics, in which time matters much more then winning, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Personal log, entry 58-78. It's cold and dark in here. So cold, that I can feel it through my nanofiber suit. Strange alien monsters are roaming the place, dragging their claws in the dusty ground, clapping their jaws, red eyes flashing in the distance. I can hear them growl even through the thin atmosphere of poisonous gases. If it wasn't for the valuable artifacts there's no way I would've come here. I might be one of the toughest, meanest, deadliest people in the galaxy, but I swear--this planet will be the end of me. Well, that's enough yapping, time to get to work. End log.

Risk of Rain is an action platformer with roguelike elements. With permanent death as a primary feature, players will have to play their best to get as far as possible. Fight on a mysterious planet with randomly spawning enemies and bosses, either alone or with 3 friends in online co-op. With over 100 items at your disposal, you will find the tools you need to find the teleporter back home. Discover a myriad of randomly chosen stages, from the desolate forest to the frozen tundra. With procedural content generation and a sense of urgency that keeps the game exciting, this one will keep you glued to the screen for a long time. You will be failing, especially at first, but the game will have you coming back for more and more!

Start your journey into the land of random risks and ever-ticking clock in Risk of Rain, for only $3.99! The 60% off Indie Gem Promo discount offer lasts until Thursday, April 10, at 9:59AM GMT.
Argh! I bought it two weeks ago... Well, for the lucky ones who still haven't got it, it's really an addictive run 'n' gun, be sure to have a gamepad controller though.
Seems interesting but very challenging...
Definitely looks like my kind of game! And I don't own it yet :) I'll pick this up when I get home tonight.
nice promo but not a game i fancy.
So tempted to get this and get another one off the wishlist... but a tight budget prevents that and a large backlog soothes the pain somewhat, since I know that if I got it it would just sit there and not be played.

Gameplay definitely looks like a fun casual experience. Bah! Stoop-id budget!
I'll give it a try :)
Looks interesting, I think I'll grab this and Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians.
Kinda fast to come on gem promo?

Quick question - isnt this game meant to be quite difficult?

WHY

Man, what I wouldn't give to have more graphical roguelikes like SotS: The Pit and TOME instead of these "roguelike-likes". Oh well, back to DCSS tiles and Vulture for NetHack for me.
A game totally based on urgency? WOW it's like the anti-me! XD
A new game in my collection ,,now
Looks like it has potential to be fun....I just don't get why "perma-death" is now classified as a game feature in so many games... about as much of a feature as having no saves.... :)
Nice game.
It's a good game, but hard as heck. After a ton of plays I still can't get past the fourth level. Regardless I still recommend it. It's got a lot of variation, cool art, great music, and a bunch of unlockable characters and items. It's more than worth this sale price.
