I don't think I'm going to get it. Elricks description of it sounded amazing, but I was SO BUMMED when I clicked over and saw that art style. Also, I've played some of his other "games as art" stuff, so I'm more hesitant to pull the trigger. But the premise is pretty awesome, just wish it was a modern looking game or something.
I've read other indie devs posts about how the Steam sales make them a shit ton of money because SO MANY PEOPLE impulse buy off that. Also I think people do ok with those Humble Bundle deals as well.
Speaking of modern shit, The Room 2 came out recently on iOS and it's discounted right now for $2.99. Loved the first one so picked this up. So far, so good - more weird puzzles with a k'tulu vibe.
