Gish

Edmund McMillen, artist/designer at Cryptic Sea, has informed me that Gish is now on sale for about the next week or so (via Steam). The formerly $10 game is now $5. If you haven’t yet tried this totally sweet platform game, now’s your chance.

And Blast Miner, the physics-based puzzler which I once panned (like a total dick) and eventually accepted (but only after Edmund added a puzzle mode and also did a 360 piledriver on me at IGF), is now $10, down from the original $20.

    I’d been meaning to pick up Gish for a long time now and at $5 had no good reason to delay any further. What a great game!

  • Splinter of Chaos

    Yeah, I got the game earlier today. I remember player the demo over and over again, and then over again.

    But somehow I remember the game being slightly more fun.

    Still, when it comes to physics games:
    Portals,
    Armadillo Run,
    N,
    GISH!

    At $5, it’s a steal! Will buy later tonight, although I would have preferred to get the Mac version.

    Gish is definitely worth it’s money, 5$ is really a steal.

    This reminds me, I still haven’t had the time and money to do the t-shirt thing I promised, but I will. :)

    Bought it, nice game for $5. Controls differently than most games.

    Spooky, I didn’t realise me and you did exactly the same thing when reviewing Blast Miner, Derek.

    I finally picked this up. Not because of the sale, but because I finally have some money again. It’s really dark (brightness-wise) with no way to adjust it, but so so freakin’ awesome I’m running in SUPERBRIGHTMODE until I beat it.
