Anyway, I did get Enigmo for 2 bucks (my first game for this platform), as well as other games on sale over the last year, so it all evens out in the long run. $5 isn't all that much for a lengthy adventure game, but it is somewhat expensive for a puzzle game such as Kenken, which also went on sale for 99 cents within a couple weeks of me buying it. I guess it all comes down to how good a value a product is in the first place. By the standards of the Sierra games I grew up playing, $5 wouldn't have gotten you the first floppy. good point.

I remember being frustrated that Loopy Laboratory beat me out of the gate (about a year ago! lol). That said, from a developer's standpoint I see no reason to make it free if he/she is not offering anything else to cross promote. From a gamer's perspective I guess every game would be better if it was free. :) If I could just get my game finished, I bet you guys would like it.

Much prefer the interface to Monkey Island. And the comic book intro was very nice, as is the art style in general. I lost patience with Enigmo. Too fiddly. I'll give Enigmo 2 a miss. Loopy Lab was a fantastic game. Highly recommended. Downloaded Aves and am having one of those Zen Bound moments i.e 'ooh that's pretty....why am playing it??'. All that's left to ponder on is Ground Effect. Looks good... Loving Beneath a Steel Sky. Much prefer the interface to Monkey Island.
