Only $4.99 for Retro City Rampage, the 8-bit thug life action game. Brian Provinciano's ultimate tribute to the 80's pop culture and nostalgic games is something words can hardly describe. Coincidentally, this amazing title was updated today, with a new "Retro+" graphics mode, and--how exciting!--modding support! Today's your chance to grab Brian's opus magnum 66% off!

Only $3.33 for Hotline Miami, the ultraviolent top-down slasher inspired by 1980s. The indie blockbuster of 2012, was made by the famous mad indie dev Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström, featuring unique art style envisioned by his teammate Dennis Wedin, and a selection of haunting music that completes the whole mesmerising experience.

Only $4.99 for Dyad, a meditative abstract tunnel shooter.

Sensory overload is 66% off, today!

Only $2.49 for Waking Mars, a Sci-Fi exploration-focused platformer. The mysteries of the Red Planet await, the biggest of them being that there is life in abundance just under the surface. You'll have to learn to interact with the alien ecosystem while you explore a vast system of caves and grottos, this is your only way of survival! Otherworldly adventure 75% off!

Only $2.49 for Tiny &amp; Big, an odd cartoonish action-puzzler. What do you get, when you mix together a grappling hook, rockets, high-powered laser cutter, physics-based puzzles, comic book visuals, old underwear, a talking radio, one nasty bully, strange alien landscape, and tons of bizarre, unruly humor? The answer is complicated, but it's 75% off, today.

All of the above offers last for the next 24 hours, that is until Thursday, June 27, at 12:59PM GMT. Enjoy our #NoDRM Summer Sale, and be sure to check our site for the new exciting deal tomorrow!

Endzville: Got to admit, although I have yet to complete Retro City Rampage despite pre-ordering it, I have to hand it to the developer for continuing to release new updates like this, especially as, by developer, I mean the one guy. Not a game I expected would see modding support but it'll be cool to see what people can come up with.
XD Ditto. Even without the constant updates there is more ways to do more stuff in that game than you can count. The different graphics modes are enough to confuse the hell out of me.

Slight change in topic and for everyone, WHAT is Dyad? Is it a game dedicated to entirely to the end of 2001? Also Fez, any opinions?

Sorry but have most of the games via indie bundles. Want to get Fez but rather have that on Steam.


I really hope you have new bundles that were not in the Solstice sale.

There's more to the repeats than "boring...". As I've said elsewhere:
-- There's a good chance, some people may have not been here on Jun. 21 or didn't have all the funds to buy every game they eyed, so they get at least one more chance.
-- A repeat gives one more time to decide if they're going to buy a game or bundle they were unsure of on Solstice Day - I have a couple of friends that fall into this category.

Fred_DM: another boring set of repeats...

BTW: you can get a better deal on Retro City Rampage on the developer's website: http://www.retrocityrampage.com/store.php

purchase the game through the Humble Store for a 75% discount, a DRM-free installer and a Steam key or GOG key. no idea why GOG isn't at least matching the discount...
Give this man a cookie! You made them another sale, sir! :D

Except that if they didn't have the funds on June 21st, they probably still don't have them now, because for most people payday is on Friday, possibly on Monday for some.

Another day, another dollar saved.. probably only to be spent on a (indie) bundle.

True for most people if we're talking strictly about employees. Even then, if one gets paid on a Monday, wouldn't they be more likely candidates to not have had the funds on Jun. 21 (a Friday)?

But, if you're self-employed, "payday" can be any day - it depends on the work you've delivered and the agreement you have.
There's also the case of planning ahead of when and by how much one charges their credit card(s).

And I'm not making these cases up, I have friends and family (myself included) that fall under one or more ot these categories.

No, because the weekdays have nothing to do with it. I assume most people get paid monthly. Some on the last bank day of the month, which in this case is Friday 28th of June, some on the first bank day of the month, which in this case is Monday 1st of July. In both cases, those who couldn't afford a game on June 21st still cannot afford it now.

I'm sure you have, but can we agree that the number of employees vastly outnumber the number of self-employed? What I'm trying to say is that if GOG wants to maximise the number of games they sell, they'd do well to try to time their sales with when the largest number of customers are likely to have money to spend.

nothing for me today thank goodness trying not to buy games in a sale is hard but trying to get through my backlog of gog games and with over 300 games in my account that will take a while.
Posted June 26, 2013
Will pick up FEZ.

The only other game I don't own from the promo is Dyad and I'm not interested in that.

I mean, I guess it's great for people who don't regularly check the front site, but for those of us (we are probably a small minority) who love to check in every single day to see what's new, the repetitions do get enormously boring. What motivation is there for us?
Posted June 26, 2013
Please add Hotline Miami's OST and I will buy it in a second.
Posted June 26, 2013
Today's favorite is Tiny & Big.
Posted June 26, 2013
There won't be any more new sales at this point during this summer discount period, right? Just a few more repeats of sales already done?

Sashh: Please add Hotline Miami's OST and I will buy it in a second.
Hotline Miami uses .ogg files, which are in the game folder, so you have whole OST when you buy the game.
