In honor of the Steam Summer Sale, I decided to do a nice little contest. I found out a game dev had been working on an art piece of game characters and just released it.

Contest Image: https://i.ibb.co/hfXPNx1/STAGE-10-COMPLETE-tiny-fix-1.png

Contest Rules:
1) To enter, name ONE character from the image (game and exact name if you know it)
2) First one to answer counts (To check if your answer was given before please use the search function)
3) Be as specific as you can (for example if there was a Mario character, don't just say Mario but rather try to name the exact character (Luigi, Peach)) It would also be helpful if you could point out where in the picture they are hiding.
4) Honor Code please
5) Everyone is allowed to participate
6) Those who end up being eligible get put into a giveaway for a game of their choice up to $10 USD (or up to $10 in a Humble Bundle/Fanatical/Groupees bundle). Names will be put in a "hat" and drawn. (Note that the choice can be any value under $10, so do not pressured to have the value equal $10)
7) I will close contest in about a week or so (at my discretion) and post the winner here. It will be up to them to contact me to claim their prize.

Good Luck!

Update 1: as of 5:50 PM EST 6/26/20 Already 132 valid entries! Keep it up!
Update 2: Thinking about ending it sooner than a week to be honest. But it's at my discretion. So keep entering

I played Broken Age fairly recently, and I recognize Vella (mid-right, mid-bottom, behind a big duck).

I recognize another character from Broken Age on the top middle (cheery short fella talking to a blonde woman), but I will never remember his name without Googling it.

All in all, I recognize about 20 characters, but I am horrible with names (and I would bet some of them do not have names), so not sure if I could name many more.

The Gnome with his flute from Samorost 3. (I believe he has no name)
He is playing on one of the tables.

Now I see more and more of them. XD Happy to see one of my favorite characters there. ;)

Thanks. So I'm eligible for this now?

6) Those who end up being eligible get put into a giveaway for a game of their choice up to $10 USD (or up to $10 in a Humble Bundle/Fanatical/Groupees bundle)

Am I reading it right that you will create dozens of giveaways for every one of us? And if the games overlap it's down to luck as usual. But if I'm alone in my game of choice it's a guaranteed win? And when do we choose a game?

let me clarify (and will put in OP as well): I put all your names in a "hat" and draw one when it closes. You will choose then. Hope that makes sense

I would like to enter with Cala Maria from Cuphead (lower left corner), I think she hadn't been spotted yet. It's an awesome GA anyway, thanks!

I actually recognize quite a few, but let's say... Karl Carbon and Talos (both from Neofeud). Didn't spot Six Billion Dollar Baller there, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Edit: Oh, there he is. Bottom right corner.

ummm I can't count this as an entry. First of all many of these were already named, second it's way more than ONE character

It's fine not counting this, I had fun naming the characters. As far as already named, I didn't read the other entries. I opened the thread when it's only a single page, wrote it first in Notepad before I forget and I guess a lot of people wanted in so it's already three pages long when I submitted.

I wanted to go with the cabin on the top left, but it is not a character, so i'll go with Gnome from Samorost (little white character on table doing trumpet on bottom of picture).
I only played the first one, that reminds me that i need to play the two other games :)

Edit: oh well it seems it is already taken.

Oof. Didn't refresh quickly enough.

In that case, Green Knight from Castle Crashers is hiding, sword out, at the top of the same bar where Meat Boy's getting kicked. Behind someone with a tree on their shirt.
