Outland is a good game for sure, as my thumb already hurts after one hour of playing it i will stop at level five. Beeing obviously tired of 2d platformers for this live...

Free until June 8th, 10 AM Pacific time, and it's yours to keep. Seriously, it's an awesome game at a price you can't beat, so if you don't own it already, get on that shit.

Holy crap! I just discovered this excellent gem of a game is finally getting a Steam release in a little less than a week! Hopefully it will become a hit with the PC only crowd.

Excels in art style, level design, boss fights and atmosphere. It takes clear inspiration from Metroidvania-style games and the classic shmup Ikaruga, but manages to feel like a completely unique experience. The difficulty is sometimes too punishing, especially because the long boss fights lack checkpoints, but otherwise there is little to criticize about this game.

After a mysterious yet simple story has been set up, "Outland" bestows one of the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous level designs upon you. The background imagery, realized with highly detailed silhouettes, honestly looks amazing. It is a metroidvania 2D platformer in its gameplay and you simply cannot avoid mentioning "Ikaruga" when describing the core mechanic: you are given powers and you're confronted with obstacles, both based on light and dark energy that you can switch between at will. The difficulty is adequate and the collectibles make you come back, although just 1o pieces of artwork were a bit of a let-down. There's not much replayability, but the game is still highly recommendable.
