Sorry, just a quickie |OT| since freebies don't tend to get them at all and it came out of nowhere for me (I just saw it a few minutes ago but it does seem awesome). If anyone wants to spice it up, just send me the stuff and I'll make sure to mention you made it. Only mods can edit the title though. Or did that change?

It really does make me want a new Bonanza Bros though.

Stealth Bastard looks awesome. If they make a sequel they should incorporate a 2 player mode.

Pretty cool game. The weight and the responsiveness of the player are both perfect.

I was sold on the name alone.
Then I watched the trailer and was sold even more.
Then I saw it was free.
THEN I read it supports a controller.
Downloading.

Why the hell is this free? It's worth something. It's a really good puzzle platformer.

No clue why it's free... Maybe they already plan a HD version or new iteration to sell or something, like going from Meat Boy to Super? Or they're just super nice, or feel it's too close to their inspiration or whatever. Who knows? Buy their other games to support them, Explodemon on PC & PSN and Fluidity/Hydroventure on WiiWare.

I'd understand it if it were on one of the big portal sites, Kongregate or Armorgames or something - they do pay quite substantial sums to get exclusive, original games like this on their sites.
But Curve are offering this on their own page. The only commercial aspect I've seen is an Explodemon ad when you quit the game. Pleasantly surprised.
But I'm still secretly waiting for a catch.

The game's already had an updated version too, I dunno what was changed. And it's not a flash game so it wouldn't be on those portals. I think it's made with Game Maker, though that's just a hunch going by their loading screen and some other details. They definitely seem to need more exposure though (their sites don't seem too great at attracting people to me), perhaps it was made as an advertisement hoping a freebie would get covered more than their commercial titles. Well, I'm not gonna complain

Thanks for the title update, EatChildren!
I don't think Kongregate and the other portals allow only Flash games, but I could be wrong. Not that it matters, though. They're obviously not planning on monetising this at the moment, so we can do little more than collectively shrug our shoulders and enjoy the ride.
Beat the first world in one go, really liking the game.

Hi guys.
Glad to see you're enjoying the game. Always chuffed when we get an OT on NeoGAF!
Yes, it's completely free, and no we're not going to bait and switch you and suddenly start charging for it. I made the game mostly in my spare time over the last 18 months in Game Maker, so it was pretty cheap for Curve to produce. The whole thing was basically just me messing around (and enjoying learning things like the online sharing/leaderboards). It's the exact same way Explodemon was created, only we never released that prototype. This one has had an extra bit of spit and polish applied, but it's really just a labour of love the same as Explodemon was.
This time around, we're happy to put out this version of the game for people to play and enjoy. We're not really in the position of self-funding titles at the moment, however, if this were to become popular enough, then you never know, we might find someone interested in helping us enhance it and take it further.
Meanwhile, it's just a fun game for everyone to play for free.
Oh yeah, and if you do feel like contributing, then yeah, that's what the Explodemon PC upsell screen is there for.
Cheers!

What do you mean? You can assign both a button and the down direction to crouch for the gamepad, or assign the crouch to any one key you want for the keyboard.Draft said:
Edit: it would be nice if the d-pad also worked on the 360 controller. Sure it's kinda shit but I prefer it over the analog stick for side scrolling type games.
