I got a free GOG code, so I can't complain, but I definitely wish I had a Linux version. Supposedly GOG is going to add Linux just like they added Mac support recently, so hopefully it won't be long. Luckily the game runs fine under wine.

Just to dissent, I found this game quite boring. The basic strategy is quite simple and almost everything else is random chance. $6 is a bit more than I think it is worth.

I know the game is fairly new, but anyone think it'll be cheaper during the Steam Holiday sale?

Who knows? It wasn't discounted at all for the Autumn sale.

I was waiting for this one to hit 50% but I'll spend the extra dollar to play it now. I've been wanting a little indie experience with my backlog being almost entirely huge ass AAA games.

Man, I've heard about this game but had kind of written it off as not necessarily my thing. However, all of the endorsements in this thread have convinced me otherwise! Thanks for the info TS, will get it from the developer.

TY Good Sir!

I bought this game about a month ago and even though I got out of playing it, it was one of the best games I've played all year.I would like to see them come out with a version for my phone though on Android, seems like some high end phones should be able to handle this.I suppose a tablet would be the better fit though.

This deal is pretty tempting, but FTL seems like a prime candidate for a Humble Bundle. I think I can hold off a little longer.

I've been watching for any price drop on this. Thanks for posting this, I had seen it on GoG but would prefer a Steam key and hadn't known about the Developer/Humble page. Now I get Linux and Steam... Awesome.

I've put in about 3 hours today, such a damn fine game.

Grabbed a copy because of all the recs. Thanks op!

Seconded. Looks decent but Humble Paynents + cross platform is just screaming will be in a Humble Bundle someday so I can wait.

WHAT? This is redeemable on steam?
How? Please someone answer me, if so, I am immediately purchasing from GOG.

HOW! FTLGAME.com! Huzzah. Bought.

God dangit! This is HOW! games should be. DRM Free Linux/Mac/PC && a steam key. For 6$ a total no brainer!
OP Needs to be updated! to point to FTLgame.com, for steam redeemable. Woops. It is there.

It's already in the OP.

And nothing from GOG will be a Steam key. Ever.

Thanks for the notice. I picked one up since I was waiting for a sale. It might be cheaper for the Holiday Steam Sale but it wouldn't be off by that much.

/sigh, I put 10 hours into this already. I have literally got nothing done at work. Thanks a bunch!

I hate this game but I love this game but dude this game.

So anyone know if the pay option through Amazon will take money from my trade credit there? I really do not want to be spending cash right now but I will buy this if I can use my Amazon bucks.
