It was already in a humble indie bundle drm free, but maybe not in the humble store per se.

Yes I also still feel emotioned when thing of this litte game. Specially when I hear the song "Build a Little World With Me" [External Link] which made me cry like a girl when it was first played in the game. :'(

Rakuen for the first time drm-free and on a bundle ia a steal! It was the best experience I had in 2017. Its like a lenghthier To the Moon, and you can really see the dev poured her soul into this game.

The others are good to, good to see an Humble INDIE Bundle again!

Interesting when I saw the trailer a few days ago, I dind't regard it as much. Not very interested in the average speedrun, but playing against my own ghost that yes... it really motivate me in those games. Ever since micro machines 2 in DOS ^_^

I'm too bad against a leader-board, but against my old self oh yeah it is possible to beat me if I just... try *one* more time.

Quoting: no_information_hereFor anyone who has played this, I am wondering about the style? Is it a metroidvania (like recent Iconoclasts) or more just puzzle-platformer (like Blackhole). It gets harder and harder to figure out what to expect.

If it only puzzles, like Super Meat Boy, I start to get bored after a while. I like a broader world to tie it all together. Even things like You Have to Win the Game and Super Win the Game have enough context to make it all hold together and feel more than just a slog through one puzzle screen after another.

To start with I din't play this one yet. Only saw videos and tweets about it, since I've been following the project dev's since start.

It started with the Pico-8 retro game Celeste, now called Classic Celest, wich quickly became one of the best games on that platform with several people doing speedruns and modding alternate levels.
You can play that online here in the webbrowser from the pico 8 forums [External Link] or itch.io game page [External Link]

Basically, it improves on the formula of the classic one, where on each screen you have to do a combination of jumps though an hazardous level to reach the exit, and for bonus points capture a some big red strawberries located in hard to reach places. If you die to immediately start on that same screen starting position.

So, for each level: start, jump, die, repeat, leave to next screen

Now to answer it. The first one is pretty much puzzle bazed like meat boy. And this is a bit like it. Though the levels are interconnected. Its basically one whole climbing to the top of the montain. But on this "reimagining" of Celest, it seem they tried to give a story with it, with other characters and so on. But since I haven't played it ye I can't say too much on this one. So MAYBE it "has enough context to make it all hold together" afterall.

Oh... and it has a great great soundtrack!!! It there even is a second B-sides album with remixes from other artist such as the one from FTL (Ben Prunty). Like the Linux version the OST was released on day one.

EDIT: Spellcheck :(

Quoting: Patola

Quoting: Asu(still where's my galaxy client for linux?!)

Slightly offtopic, but although there is no GOG Galaxy for Linux, there's an open-source alternative called Games Nebula [External Link] which is very nice and even runs GOG windows games via wine.

Wow.. When did this happen! That's pretty sweeat! Does it track your game hours and clound saves too? (For compatible games of course)

Quoting: GuestAre these things like steam big picture mode, a way to launch games comfortably using a TV and a controller? Or more like PoL or retroarch, a way to easily manage and configure emulators?

The basic app, the Lauchbox is more of laucher/game catologue like retroarch with strong emphasis on emulation, but with PC games included too. That's the one they're thinking of porting to linux. This is the free version.

Then they have BigBox which is "the big picture mode solution". But that one is heavyly dependent on windows and would need a complete rewrite for it to happen in Tux land (there is talk of kickstarter for it though but not just now). This BigBox comes only with the premium version which is their main source of income.

Edit: formatting and added that Bigbox is their main source of income.

First, I'm a big fan of Lutris.

But just to add one key difference in Lauchbox. Besides a straight laucher it also is a game catologue application. It imports you games from steam and file directory folders ou your specified list, and then scraps info from the internet to fill in game boxes art, info from wikipedia,videos and other content related to which game you have.

They also manage a games database [External Link]. Unlike the linux games database (LGDB) [External Link], which I love, it has games from all platforms, including very many old game consoles.

EDIT: fixing typos.
