You can check yourself:

http://knyttunderground.bandcamp.com/album/knytt-underground-ost

There's no real need to pay for it as you can download it for free from the Bandcamp site. But on the other hand, I think it is a good one and you should consider to give the composer some extra money if you like his work too.

!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!

At this price you have no excuse to not get this adventure platformer. I got it on Playstation Vita and the scale of the game is really big, except at least 10 hours of gameplay if you play it unprepared (I tought it was a casual platformer). Like "La Mulana", this is the kind of exploration game where you'll have to note down (yeah, with a pen and paper) every details about rooms you've visited otherwise you'll get lost (there is a map but it's too vague) in this huge world. BTW, the OST is really good so add a few cents to beat the average ;)
New deal is Star Nomad.

Star Nomad is a 2D top-down RPG/RTS tribute to classic spacesims of old such as Elite, Wing Commander: Privateer 1 & 2, Escape Velocity and Freelancer. If you are a fan of these games, then you're in for a nostalgic ride!

In Star Nomad, you roam free in the Wildlands Sector, immersed in a sci-fi noir setting rich in depth and humor.

[FEATURES]

* Be a neural data transporter or cargo runner.
* Be a Mercenary taking on random missions (patrol, bounty hunting, defend & escort).
* Be a Asteroid miner seeking rare ores.
* Be a Merchant trading in goods with many profitable routes to find!
* Be a Smuggler dealing in lucrative drugs & evading the law!
* Be a Pirate attacking merchant ships, become infamous, join the pirate factions & fight for anarchy!
* Join huge multi-faction fleet battles!
* Dynamic faction standing system, where your actions will determine friend-or-foe.
* Multiple ship classes to fly, including drone carriers & the mighty Yamato Battleship!
* All ships are up-gradable with modules.

Star Nomad is a sandbox at heart, but it's also story driven with a personal plot that puts you right in the pilot seat to determine the outcome of a civil war raging across the Sector, culminating in a final "Zero Sum" plot.

Designed with a simple UI to focus on the fun of a complex spacesim experience, rather than a complex control scheme. With support for mouse/keyboard input & touch control, you can play Star Nomad optimally anywhere, on your desktop, notebook or PC tablet sitting on the couch!

[Reviews]
"There is usually some sort of contact going on, be it patrol ships checking in on you, other pilots warning of space pirates that have been spotted, and the countless ships zipping by and going on about their business. It feels like a populated world and in someways borderline MMO."

"Star Nomad is one of those games where, if I am not careful, I will find myself sitting in front of my computer at four in the morning. It’s addictive and can have a steep learning curve, but it is simple enough that nearly anyone could approach it and not feel intimidated." -Indie Game Mag


[IMPORTANT]
Includes a Desura key as well as direct access download from IndieGameStand!

Beat the average for Ninja Girl: RPG Defense (PC/Mac).

Grargar: New deal is Star Nomad.
This looks fun. The screenshots remind me of S.P.A.Z.
First game I bought on Indiegamestand in a while. I have a weak point for that kind of spacesim (Elite is still one of my favourite games) and the trailer looked very good as well.

And of course I beat the average. Who can resist a game titled Ninja Girl: RPG Defense?
New deal is Super Cyborg.

"Super Cyborg is an oldschool nonstop hardcore run'n'gun action! You play as battle cyborg who was sent to investigate a mysterious island. A very powerful alien known as 'Xirxul life form' has been awakened by the scientists and now all humanity is in danger! Rush through 7 levels filled with countless monsters and creatures. Destroy everything that moves!
8-bit stylized pixelart graphics combined with awesome chiptune soundtrack creates a perfect atmosphere for the bio-sci-fi setting.
Gameplay was inspired by many oldschool titles such as Contra series, Metroid series, Gunstar heroes, Alien soldier and many others.

==============================================
Super Cyborg was in development for almost 4 years and finally released in July on Desura. It was warmly accepted by players and got high ratings and positive reviews from them. That's because everything was made with high passion and enthusiasm.The major part of our efforts went into level design, detailed pixel-art graphics and original chiptune music. My main goal was to create as detailed and dynamic experience as possible, hence we made an accent on unique enemies, boss fights featuring several “forms” and requiring you to learn their patterns, and unusual environments that make each of the 7 available levels refreshing and new to the player.
==============================================

Game features:
- 3 difficulty levels (easy, normal, hard - unlocks when you'll beat normal mode)
- local cooperative (2 players mode)
- 7 hardcore levels
- awesome chiptune soundtrack by Darkman007
- many unique bosses and enemies
- classic 8-bit graphics"

Beat the average for the OST and concept art.

I'm a little bit late but I've just noticed that since 9th October, the wishlist feature has now been implemented on Indiegamestand so you can keep track of all the interesting games which come out (Doggins and Detective Chirpums recently for example) or wait for a regular "not PWYW" sale (a -50% on Seduce Me would be cool ^o^). Now that makes IGS the best store around for discovering indie titles (desura is dead, steam is messy and gog is picky)

Nice. :)

Btw, Desura is not dead (yet?). It's just deadish. It's slowly transforming in a general game store. But you are pretty much on the right track. Their client for alternative platforms (at least for Linux) is dead and gone. The latest binary doesn't work and your only way to get it working is to compile it from source (luckily that still works). And the new client is for Windows only. It might be possible to get it to work, but it's low priority (not the devs fault, they seem like nice guys - it seams to be Linden Labs decision). Although they had a redesign recently and they now offer games with DRM Free download + Steam keys. So if that's your cup of tea (both DRM and DRM-free), they're still somewhat relevant. At least since Humble Bundle pretty much started selling non-portable DRM ridden games. Although they still offer DRM-free downloads.

Anyway, sorry for offtopic (and the rant). I had to get that off my chest. :)

Yep, I'm only planning to get Claire on it but I don't even remember my username and password since it has been so long that I logged in :)
