That's an easy pass. The steam key, a DRM-free version and the soundtrack were all in that Groupees Anniversary bundle.
Steam keys for Syder Arcade are on IndieGameStand now... ^_^
Also on the first greenlight bundle.

Unfortunately the Groupees company lost a hard disk and does not appear to have made backups so all of their content from at least a few if not many of the bundles from the past have been unavailable for 1.5+ months now which I think is a good sign they didn't have any backups at all. ;o(

I've been unable to access my previously bought stuff and read countless other people express the same thing on various gaming forums across the web. I had downloaded some of the content already so it's not a total writeoff, but I wont be buying from Groupees again and I'd have to recommend others stay away from them also. Any proper reputable business needs to have a solid IT plan in place with multiple redundancy and rock solid backup strategy especially if that is what is holding their core product. Groupees has demonstrated poor competence at that I'm afraid. I do wish them well in their recovery however and hope they put a better plan in place to prevent future catastrophes like that from happening again.

DarkoD13: So the Desura key for DROD is still not available, so I sent an e-mail to the developer. Just got a response. He apologized, said he believes they weren't notified about the keys situation and that they will work to make the key available within the next 24 hours.
A bit of a late reply, but I checked some days ago and noticed I have finally received my Desura key.

DarkoD13: I like IndieGameStand, but WTF...
I find it surprising and aggravating, that they aren't being truthful. I fully expect them to have contacted the developer, when I get a popup saying that they have. Waiting weeks where no action is actually being taken is just not okay.
Grave Digger is the new deal. I've been eyeing it for a while. For $0.25, I couldn't pass it up.
3 people paid $10 at launch. Hmmp. Not worth paying more than average.
New game at IGS: Frogatto & Friends (platformer): DRM-free, Desura, Steam when it has been greenlit
Pay above the average ($1.38 at the moment) to also get the soundtrack

Since long ago, every deal starts with 3 anonymous with $10.00 each as "top contributors"...

Nice! I'm very interested in the game, but skipped the Groupees bundle it was in, because most of the other games were Steam-only.

Will pick it up now.

I caught the launch today. It actually started at $1, however, my payment didn't go through, and not for the first time, too.
New game:
Operation Smash (DRM-free, Desura, Greenlight)
BTA bonus: Soundtrack
Hi.

I just wanted to note that their customer support is very helpful. I bought The Grave Digger but didn't see the amount I was paying until I clicked the Confirm button on the Amazon Payments page (too late) and I was charged with the default amount of 5$. I sent them a support requtes which was not handled but when I contacted their mail e-mail address about it they were very quick to answer and ask me to write again to the support.

Then, I got it resolved in a matter of minutes. They can do partial refunds with Amazon Payments, so I got back half of my money (I was remotely interested in The Grave Digger but 5$ was a bit too much for me).
The new game looks good, and it's a platformer too, so instant bought!
I've heard pretty good things about Operation Smash. Definitely going to grab it.
