Thoughts on the recent Indie Gala?

Closed

Just a few things first: I am not offering this for gifting or trade. This thread is for discussing the bundle.

Did you get it? What do you think of it?

I got the IG bundle partly because I had barely just over the average left in my budget near the end of the sale. I sent it their way and got the bundle.

I wanted Saira since I know its developer's work. Nifflas made the freeware titles Knytt and Within a Deep Forest as well as the freeware "development kit game" Knytt Stories, the last of which I've played. KS is basically a ton of pacifist atmospheric metroidvanias/puzzle platformers created by its user community.

So far, the little I've played of Saira makes it seem like a super-cool expanded version of a Knytt Stories game, with lots of sub-levels strung together.

I tried playing inMomentum, but my view is oddly distorted and my computer can't run really run it at full speed very well--at least, there's major lag even on the title screen. And I could only barely get over my first set of jumps. I'm not sure if I'll be enjoying this.

Haven't tried anything else yet. Zombie Shooter and ZS2 seems interesting, even though I'm not a big fan of the zombie gaming craze. Your Doodles Are Bugged! seems to be a combination of the gameplay of something like Lemmings and the style of Crayon Physics Deluxe. I haven't tried either Hacker Evolution games, nor have I tried Uplink from the Humble Introversion Bundle.

And I have no idea what Vizati is going to be about.

I wanna get it, if only for inMomentum, but being unemployed sucks.

I got it, but only for the Hacker Evolution games. Everything else was pretty much filler.

Don't even bother with ZS1/2, they are terribly aged and bugged :( If you want something like them just go play Dead Frontier.

The main reason I bought it was for inmomentum, but I was also interested in the Hacker games.

I knew beforehand that the ZS games were rubbish (played the demos a few months and didn't enjoy them at all), and I wasn't interested in Your Doodles are Bugged. Saira was just an added bonus.

Now that I've played inmomentum, I'm glad that I didn't buy the bundle just for it. It's too hard and confusing for me. I'd often find myself pressing a button, expecting an ability to trigger, and falling into a pit or to the ground.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH, I have been wanting to pick up Saira and inmomentum for a long while now. I wish I would have known about this bundle before now!

Zombie Shooter 2 was pretty interesting, the games have little to do with zombies.

I had a lot of fun with Zombie Shooter. Straightforward arcade style shooting action. Zombie Shooter 2 strayed too far from that formula, and I didn't enjoy it nearly as much.

Tried inMomentum. Beat a couple levels, it didn't appeal to me that much. Same with doodles are bugged.

I played a demo of one of the hacker games, will probably enjoy those later.

I'm excited to check out Saira, haven't gotten to it yet either.

I felt that the games were sub-par compared to the humble bundles and the music didn't appeal to me, so I didn't buy it. I did think of buying it for Your Doodles Are Bugged but eventually decided against it. I think a part of it was bad timing. There were many good deals at the end of the year for more professional games and they pushed these gala ones down the list.
