Pid, Strike Suit Zero, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Trine, La Mulana, and more indie titles 60% off!

[url=http://www.gog.com/promo/indie_action_weekend_promo_020813 ][/url]In the golden age of classic PC gaming there was very little limit to developers creativity when it came to action games. Each new title could introduce new ideas, gameplay models, technical advancements, and aesthetic choices. Nowadays the progress slowed down almost to a full stop, and the diversity toned down by far. New action games developed by large studios follow same patterns and rarely experiment with their identity. Even the best and most elaborate titles rarely divert from the popular choices. Are we really doomed to buy the same games over, and over again? Indies to the rescue! Modern independent developers present the same amount of sheer unlimited creativity as their predecessors in the 1980s and 1990s. Even when drawing from the classics, their games present the same enthusiasm and imagination as the titles many of us grew up with. That's why today, we're proud to present you with our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/indie_action_weekend_promo_020813 ]Indie Action promo[/url]. You can get 12 indie titles, each of them original and fresh in its own way, with a 60% off discount!

There's , a gorgeous, original platforming adventure telling a story of a little boy stranded on a mysterious planet, for only $3.99. Or, if you like some physics-based puzzles in your platformers, for the same price you can grab [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/trine]Trine, a game following the fantastic voyage of three likeable characters, each with a special set of abilities. Or perhaps you like your games with a bit of punishing difficulty? Well then, be sure to check out La Mulana, a challenging old-school free-form platformer that lets you explore mysterious ancient Mayan ruins.

Say, maybe you're missing the excitement of deep space combat? Don't miss your chance to take the steers of Strike Suit Zero, for only $7.99. In this action packed, visually stunning revival of space combat sim genre, with many new ideas, you'll pilot a craft capable of transforming into a giant robot to take on swarms of enemies with unsurpassed maneuverability and firepower. Too serious for your taste? No problem! For only $3.99 you can take the fight somewhere completely different in Symphony. In this music-driven vertical shoot-em-up full of eye-candy, and packed with a dynamic electro-soundtrack, you will defend your very own music collection from a strange virtual entity that threatens to corrupt your hard drive.

Bloodygoodgames: Don't know, How smart are you? :)

Honestly, I got horribly stuck a couple of times (can't remember where but I do remember once was actually quite early on) and eventually succumbed to watching a Let's Play to find out how someone else did it. Helped immeasurably and I was able to keep on going. If you've been stuck there for days I'd recommend that!
I have already succumbed, I know what I need to do but am struggling with the timing - if memory serves I need to drop bombs in certain spots - but I often miss... Maybe I will give it another go this weekend.

inc09nito: So many great games, but I want to buy at most one. Now it's a tough choice. I am thinking about Strike Suit Zero, La Mulana, Tiny Big or 99 Levels. Anyone can help me here? I am not that hardcore player, I play many different genres, so I am worried that most of that games would be too hard for me. Especially I heard that La Mulana and Strike Suit Zero are nowhere close to being easy...
I've only played Tiny and Big, so I can't speak for the others. But, I honestly can't recommend Tiny and Big. Sure, it looks great and it can be humorous, but that just doesn't cut it when the gameplay doesn't hold up. That's not to say the gameplay is bad, because it isn't. Even if it takes a bit to get the hang of everything, the gameplay could have actually made for a decent puzzler/platformer. Unfortunately, the game is brought down by its checkpoint save system and cheap deaths.

Yes, it is possible to die in this game, and it will happen a lot. To be honest, the controls just aren't precise enough to handle some of the situations you are put into, and the result is frequent death. This is made all the more annoying by not being able to save anywhere. So in the end, I found this to be a pretty but frustrating (and short) experience.

Mivas: I don't know how I will be able to play high-octane difficulties, Pianissimo is whopping my butt at times. And one would think that playing Nightcall by Kavinsky would be easy peasy. Well, it is not :D. It's refreshing to play something catchy that really tests my eye-hand coordination.

The only weakness is an inability to move the windowed game to the second screen. It limits my time spent on it a lot. :( I have read developers are looking in it, though.

Electric Love so goes into my playlist.
This song is so amazing. I must have more than 100 hours at Symphony (fusion of two loves: shumups and music!) and probably spent about half of this with Electric Love... Played with Palm Trees a lot too... Dang, this game is so huge as your music library, I always play it once a week.

PS.: BUY SYMPHONY!

JudasIscariot: Not speaking for everyone at GOG as this is something subjective, but I like a lot of indies due to the fact that they remind me of a time when games focused on fun and interesting ideas. Also, remember the Ultima series could be considered "indie" back when Richard Garriot was selling diskettes in ziplock baggies :D
Very good point, Judas, very good point. Indies also hearken back to the time when games were developed by individuals or small teams. Chuckles, Lord British, and independent programmers/designers like Jaimi RR McEntire (He made the game Prophecy of the Shadow pretty much by himself even though it was published by SSi.) worked in the way some of the indie designers like Jeff Vogel (Spiderweb) work today.

Okay, it was amusing when you were suppose to be parodying young Call of Duty players ("noScopexXx420xXx, you niggerfaggot!"), but now you're just trying to offend for the sake of offending. GOG has rules, and you're looking at a forum ban.
Nice selection of promo.
Im not against Indies, just nothing personally for me lately :)
