No, I just thought about "we've done a hundred reviews, reached five hunded followers and caused over 3.500 looks at store pages..."

I wanted to wait with review 100 for follower no. 500 to make nice material for an announcement, but followers seem to take their time... :)

Wow, this one has become incredibly cheap...

Oh wait, it doesn't fit our quality criterion. But maybe, some of you want to play it anyway.

I actually played a demo of that from when they ran their Kickstarter campaign, and it worked well on Linux, even then. I didn't end up backing it, and I haven't checked it out since it was released, but I agree that it looks like a good fit for us.

Now the first comment to the GoL article[www.gamingonlinux.com] starts with "This is a hidden gem"... :D

Thanks a lot, but i just noticed that it is windows only, so i won't be able to play it some time soon, so just send me a trade button if you want it back.
But still thanks for the gesture :)

Oh, yes, that's why it's laying aroung in the first place.
Well then, have to find another one. :)

Just played it and it's a perfect fit for our recommendations in my opinion:

i really prefere turnbased, especially when you gotta think and strategize a lot. I like games where the difficulity doesn't lie in the controlling but in the game itself (there are exceptions of course).

Maybe this will be something for you:

They just announced they will release in a month's time.

Further i like the fact you can swap your character :) otherwise it usually gets "same old - same old" pretty quick.

As mentioned, getting an overview over the larger places with the mediocre controls got too tedious for me. So, I guess not the best choice for you.

Had this lying around for quite some time now.

Anybody played through Crookz?

Looks a bit like Invi?ible Inc.
Any compairison?

Crookz uses pausable realtime with a planning phase, while Invicible Inc. seems to be turn-based. And it has got handcrafted locations, nothing random.
In the end, it felt more like a puzzle game. If I use this, I can get there, fetch the thing which I need to open the next door and so on. But you can take different people with different abilities on each raid, and choose the items you take with you, so it's not a predefined single path you can take.

-> added to wishlist

Have you got a trading button for me?

I've played through most of the first game I think, but I was unfortunately affected by this bug, which made me unable to progress:

Do replay it. In my humble opinion, it's one of the best point and clicks in computer game history. It started as a bachelor work I think, and the guy invested so much time and love in it. You can talk with Harvey about almost every item you get (and you get a lot of items), and he always has something interesting or funny to say. And the story, well... you haven't seen all of it.

When I had finished it, I immediately looked at their website if they hire programmers. For the second part, I've been to Hamburg for play testing. They told us it's not affordable to do such a game a second time with all those lines of text...

It's a nice little one. Not great, but good. In English speaking countries, I guess it might be very suitable for children.

Crookz also looks interesting, and I think I bought it a while back, but that has also just been sitting on my to-play list.

I asked if anybody has played it because I stopped due to the rooms getting larger and the controls being suboptimal, so I lost overview. I'm unsure if we should give it a recommendation.
