jcosmocohen: Anyone know how many times Fran Bow has been up? It's the one I'm currently waiting on and I don't want to miss it.
2 times according to http://birdiesoft.dk/insomniaspring2016.php tracker thingy

itchy01ca01: I think it's the low numbers that are helping to sell. Jack Keane and Erica Reed had .. hundreds to sell before switching. 400 sticks out in my mind as being the number.
That's nothing. I remember 1200 copies of Eador. That was a slow one. And hundreds of copies of Omerta.

Shendue: Actually, i'm not a huge fan of match-3 games and i think Huniepop is great. It has no pressure, slow pacing, a relaxed, strategy focused tone, enhanced by the juvenile theme, the colorful graphics and the excellent, relaxing, music.
And the gameplay mechanics crap all over games like Candy Crush (meh).
No pressure? Did you get to the...well..."final encounters" with the girls? Most intense clickfest I've ever seen in a puzzle game... :)

I remember someone mentioning the fact that the tracker started hours into the sale, therefore some data is missing.

Dgaart: If I order a game I already own, or a game I bought in an earlier round but want to buy again as a gift, will it count toward my 10 game freebie?
gifts do count to the 10 game thingie...

itchy01ca01: Oh who remembers the great Jack Keane Stalling of .. I think it was either 12 or 13. Either way, epic. I went to sleep for 6-7 hours, woke up and the bar hadn't MOVED!

blakstar: Who could forget it? Even the suddenly glowing reviews had a hard time shifting it. :-)
Why "suddenly glowing reviews" ?
Jack Keane is a decent P&C, really.
I don't understand that recurring joke about a fairly good game ^^.

Are you serious? Those were as easy as it gets. just move quickly the groups and that's it. Those were a no-brainer. And you couldn't lose them, if you stopped you just had to start over. They were, like, super easy mode bonus stages.

whitereflection: It's been up like three times, the last of which was about two hours ago.
Thanks!

mrkgnao: It's not the only one. I don't think GOG works in strict rounds this time. I expect it either is somewhat unlucky, RNG-wise, or it is set to appear with lower frequency than other games. I'm pretty sure it will reappear (again and again and again). Yawn...
It still doesn't show up.
I'm pretty sure I've seen every other title repeated now, but not the D&D enhanched bundle.

Check out the Jack Keane 2 reviews -- I have no personal opinion about the game, but it stayed around so long that various attempts were made to move the sale along, so to speak! :-P
remember, was it last year?, gog did the joke and put 1800 jack keanes up for like two seconds? someone got a pic of it i think.

I know this is off topic, but it appears Day of the Tentacle released. Can anyone confirm?

Edit*

Nevermind. Yep, released.

My favorite:
Let's not concern ourselves with the specifics of Jack Keane 2, as several comprehensive reviews have already gone into great detail. Rest assured, the experience of playing this game is roughly equivalent to ingesting every drug under the sun and coasting on Cloud 9 for the rest of your days. What really tipped the scales for me, though, is the string of good luck I've endured following my purchase of Jack Keane 2 during the Fall Insomnia sale. All my debts were pardoned. My bank account balance is building at an alarming rate. My mother called to inform me that she's getting back with my father after ten tumultuous years. And suddenly, literally everyone in town wanted to be my Facebook friend. I was busy accepting all these requests when my long-time girlfriend - now fiancée! - leaned into me and whispered into my ear, with words so sultry that they are simply not fit for print. One thing led to another, and let's just say my sex life hasn't been this good at any point in my 26 years of existence! Thank you, Jack Keane 2, for revitalizing and rejuvenating every facet of my life. Now that I'm getting laid again, there'll be no more Jack Keane off.

17000 actually, but in fact I think there were just 17, so dropping by 1000 for each sale.

And the issue the first time around was also that it was a very expensive game for the catalog at the time and discount not taking it anywhere near in line with the rest. Seem to remember it being $12 discounted, in a sale among others usually ranging between $1.5 and $4 or maybe $5. And also came at a bad time of day, but there may actually have been others that dragged on longer, the issue then being that there were few copies (similar to what's now, not several hundred or even thousands as other games used to have) and for quite a while it didn't move at all. Those few that may have dragged on longer over the years in Insomnias sold 1000-2000 or so copies over those several hours, so kept moving.

Does anyone know if the "bundles" count as more than one title purchased or not? Trying to figure out if there are enough games I want at their discounts to warrant going for the free game.
