No, just Bookworm. In any case, the theme of this one is decidedly more RPG-y. Looks good.

No, seriously. This game looks exactly like Bookworm Adventures and its sequel where you have a grid of tiles to spell words to deal damage to opposing mythical creatures. I first saw Letter Quest a week or two ago and marveled at how it could promote itself as if Popcap hadn't created the same thing already eight years ago.

Ever wondered what would happen if you crossed Scrabble with an RPG? Now you don't have to, because Bookworm Adventures already exists!

Fixed that for them.

That said, I'll buy it for a buck while I wait for the Steam versions of both Bookworm Adventures games to go on a better sale. I owned them through Popcap back in the day, so I guess I own them on Origin now if I send them proof of ownership.

Yes, I was not happy about the maintenance for patching (thank God I was at work, while most of this was done) + DDOS attacks that were causing us D3 players to NOT be on BNet for a while last night.

Especially even more so true, since console-versions can be played offline.

Why is everybody buying zombie driver DLCs? I know it is having a good discount, but... I played it back then and couldn't find anything so extraordinary about it...
 
Hm.  Do I throw card money at Violett at 80% off to toss it into the backlog, or do I accept the likelihood that it will be bundled before I get to it?

I was considering it, but I've heard less than amazing things and mobile ports are pretty hit or miss, so I think I'll wait on it (unless someone wants to buy it and tell me how it is).

Eh, what Foxhack said--it's a turrible bundle.

agentghost said:
don't jinx it. No news from him means good news LOL

good review except this part "Blood Race felt a bit like a less-fun version of Death Rally" I find Death Rally very boring and generic. The Blood Race mode adds so much flavors to it. There are not a lot of zombie killing isometric vehicular combat on the market & this one hits the spot!

Well, opinions are opinions, but in case you care. . . there's this counterpoint.

Isn't Violett one of the games that goes on a weekly every other week? Regardless, most indie games shouldn't be backlogged at this point with the 14 bundles a week shoved in our face.

well the original Death Rally was fun. The remake (the one that you link & reviewed) felt like a mobile port to me with bland driving, weak gun & generic level design.

There is another isometric car combat on the market which is VERY FUN since it is a modern remake of Blizzard's Rock & Roll Racing. Too bad it is a BANNED GAME now :/ I was fortunate to obtain it before the Steam removal.

check it out (original name was Rock & Roll Racing 3D but developer has to rename it to Motor Rock due to copyright issue)

It's never hit 80% before this week. I don't think it ever hit 75. But part of me thinks this is the last push before bundling.

There's also the issue of having too much in my Steam wallet. But I guess I could spend it on software or something.

Oh, wait. That gets bundled nowadays, too.

 
A while back there was a game called Frederic: Resurrection of Music in an Indie Gala. It got greenlit, we got keys, and I activated it the other day. I started to play it out of curiosity and it's damn fun. It's basically Beatmania, you hit keys in tune with the music and build up combos. There's a mechanic in the game which I can't get to work, and it's tough as hell, but it's pretty fun. It only seems to have seven levels though, so that sucks.

Oh, Call of Juarez was removed from the store. Again.

Am I the only one who says this out loud as "Call of . . . Juarez" with the last word being in the most overdone Spanish accent?

 
Foxhack said:
Call of... Hoooahrezz.

(I still find it hilarious that the devs are Polish, yet made awesome Western-themed games. And The Cartel.)

I always make sure to half hack up a loogie when I say Juarez so it's like Chhhwoarreezzz with the C being slightly silent but also kinda audible just under the H sound. I think it makes it more authentic.

I make sure to say ethnic words in the most gringo American way possible. I think that sounds better then trying to say them with a terrible fake accent. I remember when I was a little kid I was at a video rental store with a friend and there were these 3 middle aged women as white as can be and they picked up a movie and one them said "oh look it has Antonio Banderas in it" and she said "Antonio Banderas" in the most horrible fake over pronounced accent possible. Since then I've vowed never to be that woman.

Same here, but I don't think they were giveaways of only 100 copies.

True... There's never been a clone of another game before that didn't talk about the game it clones. ;)

In any case, I'd rather be a chibi grim reaper than a worm with glasses and a bow tie.

I'm familiar with it but it was never bundled before it got banned (for having unlicensed music, I believe). And ain't nobody got time for no non-bundled indie game tomfoolery. Crazy Russians.

If the whole BAGB9, including this, didn't look awful, I'd consider it. As it is, not so much.

The only one of these that looks worthwhile is the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. knockoff. I'm guessing Valve is going to post a batch announcement today or tomorrow that will include these.

I told Carl I enter those 100 or 200 giveaways and then downvote don't vote yes :roll: in principle for being cheap fucks and getting (potentially) thousands of votes while giving very little away.

It's not even that I think my one vote will make a difference, it surely won't, it's more a silent passive aggressive form of protest that no one will ever notice. :p

I did change my vote back to yes for Bookworm though since I got it for $1 on IGS. Plus the dev has said it's pretty high up in the queue to get Greenlight at this point so eh.

Your vote wouldn't make any difference because it's technically not a vote. You can only upvote on greenlight, not downvote. All "downvoting" does is skip the game so you can get a new one in your queue.
