The problem is that I've been buying games left, right, and center (Grid and Resident Evil 5 within the past 24 hours) - and now I'm thinking about Borderlands (33$ and 15 hours to decide) and Dawn Of Discovery (24$ and 24 hours to decide).

So Trine for 10$ - yes or no?

(EDIT: it boggles my mind that anybody could complain about things being 'slow' - we must be in a golden age of gaming? I mean, go back to the mid-90's and we were practically starved for titles. There are TOO MANY games right now.)
 
It's a great little game IMO, and supporting a cool Indy Dev to boot makes it all the sweeter for me.

I would agree that a controller is usually better for a platformer, but not in this case. Mouse and keyboard gave me a lot more control over aiming and casting, much easier to cast mage spells too.

One of the funnest games I've played in years, worth $20 and $10 is a steal.

platformer is best with gamepad, no? At least it worked better for me with a gamepad.

I tried it with both, and I like the 360 game pad except for ONE thing. It's damned near impossible to draw a crate with the magician in any reasonable amount of time.

I'm playing with the 360 controller, too. I'd say this is the only problem I'm running into. So far I've liked using the controller and appreciate that the game will switch in-game indications to match the input device.
 
Where you get it for $10, me want!

I definately agree with this comment "(EDIT: it boggles my mind that anybody could complain about things being 'slow' - we must be in a golden age of gaming? I mean, go back to the mid-90's and we were practically starved for titles. There are TOO MANY games right now.)"

I think todays youngin gamers are spoiled. They have so much they can't be happy with anything unless its an AAA game. I remember loving the hell out of a C games just because it was all there was at the time. I recall one entire summer 1 game coming out that was worth buying, a Lucasarts Indiana Jones adventure and I didn't have a backlog to keep me busy. Today I have 100 of titles backlogged to keep me busy for years if gaming died.
 
I snagged it for$10 shortly after the sale ended an before they updated the price.I wanted to see what the next sale was gonna be and saw nothing that interested me.

I agree with you, that was my only gripe too. My favorite feature though was the rogue's grappling hook where on the gamepad it would shoot out and attach to the closest surface it could find. That alone made it far easier to do swinging jumps.
 
Played the demo, thought it was meh. Could be fun though, check the demo.

I thought it seemed too easy, not challenging. Mainly in the aspect that they let you change character at will in a poof. The old lost viking style where you had 3 separate avatars in different areas each supporting each other in different ways seems more complex.
 
A game made in Finland = MUST BUY. :)

Definedly worth the 10$, one of the most enjoyable games I've played all year.
 
Bought it for my PS3, enjoyed it. Would've liked it better on XBOX as I'd have a reason to go back and find the ones I missed tho LOL
