Puzzle Agent had the most promise of all of them. I didn't realize that the art in this game is by the Space Wolf guy until I launched it. At that point I was really excited. The plot of the game seemed like it was going to be really good too. I was expecting a Layton-esque experience, and was into it. Then the second puzzle in the game just doesn't work.
There is a ten page thread that has been in their forums since July. So that's 5 months now that this game-breaking bug has existed. Puzzle Agents is completely unplayable for a great many people. I'm going to try on my laptop, but the bug is in full effect on my desktop. This is bullshit. Something this defective needs to be taken off the shelves, however digital those shelves may be.
Bought the pack yesterday, downloaded and played the game today 3.4 hours later finished the game, most of the puzzles are simple, the others where you have to put pieces together has the problem that they snap together, so if you are too lazy you can just click randomly and you'll eventually get there. The story was somewhat entertaining but the game feels like they ran out of budget halfway.
I bought today's indie pack as well because I wanted to play VVVVVVVVV so I kinda got 3 free games (already own World of Goo).

I already have WoG too, but I don't know if I want the rest of that clever pack for $5; I don't know anything about VVVVVV. However, if I didn't already have WoG it would be a definite purchase.
FUUUCK I missed Recattear!? AGH. Hopefully it will return in some form at the end of the sale.
Is it a bad time to bring up how much I'm enjoying this game? Because I'm really enjoying it. It's tough making the payments every week. And some of the customers (THAT FUCKING LITTLE KID AND THAT STUPID FARIE) seem to want everything for below cost. But the dungeon crawls are fun, though I wish you could hold more or that the items on the floor had their names.

Yeah, I dunno that I'm going to buy it. None of the others hold interest for me but VVVVVV and WoG; VVVVVVV is $5 normally, and I have WoG already.
It's a function of your shopkeeper level. you get the option to hold more later.
Every week I end up only barely making the payment. I'm looking at next weeks 200,000 pix payment and I'm thinking, "Holeee shit."
It takes a few times through. It should be noted that if you fail the only things that reset are: you lose all your money, and you have to meet all the adventurers again. While your store stays updated, you keep all your inventory, and the adventurers stay leveled up.
I didn't really like polynomial when I played the demo, but there are very few games I wont buy for a buck a piece. I already have Audiosurf from the sale earlier this week, can I gift the copy I'll get in this pack?
Also, what do you guys thing of GTA 4 Liberty City Stories?
Awww... Steam says I wont receive extra copies of audio surf.
EDIT: Though, apparently that doesn't mean what it sounds like...
Answer Users who purchase a special daily 'Gift Pack' during the 'Give and Get' sale, November 24 - 29th, will be able to give away the extra copies of the games. If you already own the game in the Gift Pack, you will be able to give all copies of the games to friends. If you don't already own the game in the Gift Pack, one copy will be registered to your account and you can give away the remaining copies.
EDIT2: Oh, a giftpack is one of those deals on the sidebar. Damn, and I was gonna give my sister the extra audiosurf.
Hm... Looks like the sale is over. Funny, I thought it was going until the 29th. EDIT: Oh, looks like it just took a few minutes to kick in for today, but 0% off on some games aint really a deal.
Yeah, but I'm kinda looking at the orange box. I already have everything but TF2 and HL2:Episode 2, but I could care less about the last half life chapter, so I'm only really looking at TF2 for 7.50 .
I have about 25 of the Cogs puzzles on my iPhone. It's really fun. I've heard good things about Tidalis and Puzzle Dimension, too, but the game is worth it for Cogs, in my opinion. Try the demo; it's like a mix of steampunk mechanics puzzles, Rubik's cubes, and Fantastic Contraption.
Comments
It just occured to me that Indie on PC isn't weak, it's just seems weak on Steam as indie devs just set up Paypal shops.
There wasn't really anything in the indie pack that interested me today other than world of goo. And even with that, I think I'll pass.

Also, Machinarium is probably my favorite game I've played all year. I highly recommend it.

They need to make the gift packs smaller or mix more than one game into each, e.g. four of one, four of another.
Polynomial looks pretty trippy.

Pretty sure all games bought more than once are giftable.

Is it worth it?
TF2's gotten pretty terrible.
Man, fuck TF2.
