I bought slay the spire and it pwns, I've played 13 hours in like 4 evenings, totally hooked. I've now beat it with the two first characters, will force myself to have a break until the next character leaves beta before playing more for sure.

I also bought All Walls Must Fall [External Link], which is 30% off, really cool. I have not seen it covered very much but it is really cool.

Now I am very tempted to buy Tyranny as well. Expensive business these sales!

Sounds like Linux game downloads are popular on game store itch

My experience is that GOG wont refund even when the game runs poorly purely technically or when I dont like the game for some other reason, at all. I have never tried itch refunding, but I have experience of people giving me free keys just to try it (trusting me to pay later) and such, but I guess that is up to which developer you choose to buy from.

The steam refunding is nice. Sometimes I'm not sure wether a game will run well - today I am for instance trying All Walls Must Fall, dunno if my computer will handle it so it's nice to be able to try.

Yawn, looks so stupid. The real Urban Survival Sim is Urban Pirate [itch [External Link]] [steam [External Link]] folks, go get it. Much nicer graphix and music too!

Quoting: PatolaWhat are your preferred itch.io-only games, people?
That's a real good idea for an article, like "this weeks gem from itch.io" or somesuch.

Quoting: buenaventuraI like itch.io alot for buying games when I want to support a developer - as far as I've understood, only 10% gets deducted and the rest goes to the developer, of what I pay. I have to pay some extra taxes so it is slightly more expensive than say Steam, but I consider that tipping I guess. Nice client also! And it is fun to have so many strange games on offer.
They don't actually take anything. Each Dev has to specify the how much of the sales goes to itch. They can give as little as 0% or as much as 100%
Ah, well, that's awesome. Thanks for the info!

Quoting: buenaventuraI am tempted to buy Slay the Spire at 20% off (that's the lowest they go it seems), I've heard a lot of nice things about that game. Buuut, I dunnp
Slay the Spire [External Link] is another damn good choice. Didn't include it in my top picks as the discount is only 20%, but it's well worth it. I regularly boot it up for a run...or two :D
Yeah when you put it like that, I just have to buy it :P With the affiliate link as well. If I have no money for rent this month I'll call you ;)
