Intelligent ecosystem design.

Reus, a unique environmental puzzle game with charming 2D graphics, amazing complexity, and a strong god-game feeling, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the next 24 hours!

What does a planet feel? What does it want? What does it dream about when it falls into a millennia-long slumber? Does the planet love the creatures living upon its surface? Does it care for them? Seeing that this particular planet musters-up its live force to sprout some benevolent giants, one might certainly think so. The only problem is--as usually--with the humans. They are so unpredictable. They act upon their urges never thinking about the future, making a mess of things so very often. But they never last. They come and go. Nothing is destroyed or spoiled forever. The planet will wake again, the cycle will start over. But what does the planet feel?

Reus presents you with some unique puzzle gameplay that's challenging, addictive, and fun. You'll be tasked with creating stable and thriving ecosystems by matching various mutually dependent tiles in the much limited space that the surface of your little planet provides. There's a lot of effects to discover and the amount of unlockable features will greatly motivate you to continue playing through gradually more difficult stages. All that with the feeling that you're an omnipotent being controlling the fate of an entire world and its inhabitants. If you like challenging logic puzzles and god-games, this title takes a bit of both genres and creates a charming experience you won't soon forget!

Become the soul of a small planet, control the elemental giants, and make sure that your little humans prosper in Reus, for only $4.99 on GOG.com. The promo lasts until Thursday, August 15, at 9:59AM GMT.
Been wanting since release, but my old computer wouldn't have played it. Looking forward to trying it out now. =)

How old was your old computer? I was just about to buy it but my pc has a few years on it and now I'm having second thoughts.

My old computer was old and stupid, but you should check out the forums at abbeygames, since the devs were in the process of changing the infrastructure of the game a few months back to make it easier on folks with older and/or frail systems.

Thanks. Think I'll snag it then. My OS is 2008 which while old isn't "old and stupid".
Will pick this up and eventually have to find out how fun running around with these big lugheads can be.

IAmSinistar: Hmm, well, I do like a game that tries to do something different, and the art style is appealing. I think I'll get it, though probably won't play it right away.
Your Avatar made me smile!

Deathstar was the second game I ever had, for the Acorn Electron. The first was Repton :)
I wanted to buy this game very much, but with my limited budget I'm limited to buying games on sale. Sadly, it takes 1 or 2 days for Paypal to get me the money I send to myself, so I didn't have the money on time. Does GOG.com often hold sales lasting less than 48 hours?

tinyE: A) someone pitch this game to me, please

B) Detroit is bankrupt so I can only guess that houses are going for pennies. In places like Beirut they are even cheaper but most of them don't have four walls or roofs and there is that constant "getting shot at every time you go out to get your mail" thing.
I have no idea about the game, but... hasn't Beirut been fine for well over a decade? The outbreaks of war there were so like in the 80s, dude. Israel's not bombing American and French barracks anymore very much. Modern post-mandate cities that are best to worry about being shot in have moved north or east from there mostly.

I apologize if I upset anyone with that, it was the first city that came to mind.
All I wanna know is, how do you make those giants move faster? The pace at which they walk is giving me facial tics. =(
