Spelunky is a stroke of genius the way it is designed. I'm really not a 2D connoisseur but Spelunky managed to grab me very good and became my 4th most-played game. It's that good.

Yeah I got weirdly into watching three or four people who played and recorded their dailies and did that for weeks or maybe months. After awhile it just seemed like a game I liked to watch but never thought too much about playing, which is hindsight is a bit weird.

For the last few bundles I've been finding it really hard to work out whether they're good or not....possibly since they did those repeats.

so you are saying.I shouldn't have bought it and it's not one of the best VNs ever, right?

It's one of the best VNs ever. Best one I've read at least
Even better than Trails in the Sky
You could have waited for parts 5-8 before buying and you should definitely have waited for voice patch before buying.

You have to keep practicing and you'll get it. The only real hard part of a hell run is the rng in 4-1 and 4-2. The biggest nightmare fuel getting a dark room and having to navigate those areas with the sceptre.

We are actually reaching the point where it's been an unusually long time since the last "traditional" Humble Indie Bundle.

Hmm sounds like Necropolis didn't quite turn out well. I had my reservations based in a couple of things but was still hopeful. Oh well...
 
What does the 2nd Encore contain? If they include all the characters did they leave out the trials? That part sounds really useful.

Upgrade to the Skullgirls 2nd Encore, the ultimate version of Skullgirls!

This upgrade adds the following to the base Skullgirls game:

- All DLC characters: Squigly, Big Band, Eliza, Beowulf and Robo-Fortune!
- All DLC charcter colors: Brings all 14 characters up to 25 total character colors!
- Fully Voiced Story Mode: Skullgirls' excellent cast of voice actors bring the story to life like never before!
- Challenges: Win a variety of challenging battles with unique conditions, and even play as Marie!
- Trials: Learn actually-useful combos, from basic bread n' butter to more advanced ones!
- Survival Mode: Endless waves of enemies await - how long can you survive?

My Spelunky Steam background was given to me by a GAFfer when I beat Spelunky. I still have it.

Didn't know they were making a new Worms game. Wishlisted.
 
Two hours is a lot longer than most people will play a game that they aren't enjoying (and that's the cutoff limit for a refund as well).

Sure, if people actually are that time effective and have played that much, but it seems that most Steam reviews about the game are from people with far less time in the game.

If the systems don't hold up and work in 15-30 minutes you're probably going to know. Especially in a game with permadeath and a lot of repetition, they tend to either grab you hard or not. That said the negative reviews for Necropolis seem to either be about a lack of changeable keybindings (fixable typically) and poor/unfun combat (probably not fixable).

I really just think too many of these Devs don't realize how hard it actually is to balance a game with extreme challenge and permadeath to actually be fun. But I dunno, Harebrained did tremendous things with Shadowrun after release so I'm sure if there's improvements that can be made, they will. But while I backed the Shadowrun kickstarters, with this I'll wait for a sale.
 
I wrote this during the Sale, and wanted more people to play it. Enjoy.
NEON STRUCT - $5.93 (67% off) - A nice mechanics-first neon-washed stealth game with an 80s influenced synth-pop soundtrack coming from the radios inside the game.

You have a box full of nonlethal gadgets, a light meter, corner leaning, and one of the most satisfying run into silent slides around.
They have guns, security cameras, and ED-209!

There are full level creation tools included and a prequel from the developers built with them. Minor Key Games is a very PC-friendly developer with FOV controls, head bob, Abberation on-off, quick save/load buttons.

Isn't there an option to stop the flow of new prisoners?

Can people already know that? How long has it been out? 2h? 3h?

I looked at actual reviews.

You should play the story which also acts as a tutorial.

Damn, call me contrary, but I ended up really disliking Spelunk in the end. The design of the fourth world really put me off. Too many times I'd get stuck having to go through a corridor with mummies and be out of bombs, which is guaranteed damage.

The product page says the Prime Day offer is not available anymore and in recent comments people complain about being charged because the code apparently expired, so probably not.
