I must have missed something…
Fortunately you guys make me laugh while I am at work, which is usually not filled with laughter. I walk away for an hour, and this is what I return to…

@Fraggles, in regards to Alwa’s Awakening, it’s pretty difficult, and not necessarily in a good way. I find myself dying again and again because of a bad jump. You restart at the last save when you die, and all you want to do is get back to the room where you died, but the walking is so slow, and there’s no running. Looks like a SNES game, feels like one too, maybe even feels like a NES game, the same grind to get the pixel-perfect jump by sheer repetition. I am currently stuck in a rut where I am running around trying to figure out where I can go next, and I am running in circles, but really slowly. This game takes a lot time to beat mainly because of the top movement speed, and that can get really frustrating at times. There are a lot of secrets, but the theme behind the secrets so far keep on repeating, like hidden passages behind walls, kind of like the old school Mario games. Perhaps not the kind of game style that has lasted well through time. This would have been a great game for the NES/SNES for its difficulty and need to constantly work on perfecting that jump/attack/avoiding the fireball/etc. I am not sure if I would recommend this game based on my play so far, just feel like perhaps I could use my time better elsewhere. Really am not sure if I plan to continue playing. Exploration is at a snail’s pace, once you get to know some of the rooms. Some of the rooms are designed so that from the beginning of the room and enemies spawning, you just have to sit there and wait, and wait, and wait, for them to move into the appropriate location for you to move or attack.
On the other hand, I am really excited to dig into Dreamstones though!

Yeah these are the things I’ve gathered from other steam reviews and why I didn’t get the bundle for this game in particular. Thanks for checking it out though.

Dreamstones, on the other hand, doesn’t run on my PC… This is completely baffling to me.
I can’t even get the menu to load, I see the product logo on the first screen, then the small animation that I presume will lead to the main menu is so slow and choppy, but the music in the background runs fine.
I can run Dead Rising 4 and Bioshock Remastered on highest settings without noticeable frame drops, but I can’t get past the initial animation to the menu of a 200 MB game… 
By the way, I tried the usual stuff, restart Steam, restart my computer, etc… Tried on 4 different occasions. Only thing I haven’t done is actually physically smack/kick the machine, which I don’t plan to do. I know that not a lot of folks here have played the game, well, at least not from my friend list, so this might just have to sit around for a while… In my library I mean…

Star Story looks super fun. I hope I can manage to snag a copy. c:
It almost has a mobile feel to it from what I can tell but as I’m playing 3-4 mobile games right now that are decent with limited ads it isn’t scaring me off like it normally would!
