It certainly has some lovely style to it.

That said, what's with all these '80s-inspired games these last few years?

Unless it's Worms-related, always bet on "no". Team17 is much more about being an indie publisher than anything else now. Good thing too because as a developer I pretty much consider them creatively bankrupt these days.
Congratulations, gog! I believe this marks the first time your newsletter copypasta is longer than the actual news text. I mean, what better way to share your love for games than not being able to crack a 170 character count?
I would like to wield the Techno Sword and feel the Trichroma.

This actually looks unique. Show people this when they say they are tired of normal pixel art.

No, it's Team17 the publisher nowadays. Developer is a small team from Spain called Studio Koba. This game went through kickstarter 4 years ago. Very happy to see it coming out in 2 weeks. For some reason quite a lot of good pixelart games came out from Spain in last ~5 years, so I'm always on the lookout for them.
guys, why is Lichtspeer discounted but the super duper edition of that game has no discount at all?
it can be marked as granted. Oh well no wait I thought it was the release already. :) well, not yet sorry.

It's from Studio Koba. East 17 is the publisher.

I think it's an error and the bundle full price shpuld be around 18 €. I think instead of applying a discount they lowered the price.
Itßs also a better price than on Steam - 11 € against 13 € and something

From http://myths.e2bn.org/mythsandlegends/userstory3938-the-welsh-flag.html

[i]Many centuries ago when dragons roamed the land, a white dragon decended upon a small village and decided to live there.

The white dragon had an icy cold temper and would freeze everything in his path. But what the ice dragon did not know was that another dragon was already living in the area. A red fire dragon lived close to the village and was hibernating in a cave by the cliff.

Six months later the red dragon awoke to find a huge white dragon wrapped around his village that he cared for. He could tell that his people were ill from the cold. The red dragon felt a chill of sorrow in the icy air. The Land was bare, nothing was able to grow not even the pesky dandelions. The people were starving. The people longed for the red dragon to free them from the icy misery, so that their life and land could return to the sunny and warm climate that it was once before.

The red fire dragon challenged the white ice dragon to a single combat fight at the top of the cliff the next day.
The next morning the red dragon flew up to the top of the cliff where the ice dragon waited. The people of the village watched in terror awaiting their fate.

The red dragon lunged forward and hit the ice dragon's chest with his horn. The ice dragon howled with rage as the blue blood poured from his chest. The ice dragon slashed back using his tail and wacked the Red dragon's head. The battle fell silent as the Red dragon rocketed high up into the clouds. The people looked up to see the red dragon soar down like an arrow. In seconds he sliced the other's head off using the point of his tail. The Ice dragon fell dead to the ground.

The crowd cheered with joy as the Red dragon roared with triumph. The mayor of the village declared that the land should always fly a flag with the symbol of a Red dragon on it. The flag's background should be half green and half white. The green to represent the lush green grass of the land and the white to represent the ice. This way no one would ever forget what happened.

After the battle, the red dragon went back to his cave and fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. From then on it rains in the green land of Wales in sorrow for the Red dragon's death.

I think I like Narita Boy. Wishlisted.
