Randomized worlds with emergent gameplay.

SteamWorld Dig is available 40% off, DRM-Free on GOG.com, for Windows and Mac OS X. That's only $5.99 for the first 48 hours!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/steamworld_dig][/url]SteamWorld Dig is a platform mining adventure with strong Metroidvanian influences. Take the role of Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrives at an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below. It's a rich world of steam-driven robots, inspired by Steampunk and Western themes. Explore an underground world full of secrets, treasure, and terrors. Uncover the remnants of human civilization, a degenerate race of dynamite-wielding troglodytes.The game comes with full X360 controller support.

Get SteamWorld Dig for only $5.99 on GOG.com. The 40% off special release discount offer lasts only until Sunday, February 16, at 10:59AM GMT.

amok: I saw this some while ago and thought it looked interesting, then completely forgot about it again...

Have anyone tried it?
I played it through and very much enjoyed it, the mining allows you to make your own path and solve some puzzles as well as a way to get money selling the ores. Then there are special challenge rooms/caves where you gain new abilities like different kinds of attacks, jumps and so forth. While with the money you get from selling the ores you've mined you can buy incremental upgrades to your equipment to increase health, digging power, water capacity, helpful single use items and so forth. There are also secrets to be found in each of the challenge caves and a pretty interesting story which reveals itself as you progress.

Considering getting it again here just to have it DRM free on GOG since it was so enjoyable.

This was an instabuy for me, and I know nothing about the game apart from the synpopsis, the genre, and the screenshots. Just couldn't resist a steampunkish puzzle platformer :)

Can't wait to check it out!

I got Steamworld Dig off of Humble Store, DRM-free +Steam key. Nonetheless, my brother hardly bothers with any sites other than GOG. So I'll be gifting him a copy from GOG in the near future.

I feel you. I bsed around about getting Steamworld Dig until I could find it DRM-free (Humble Store). While I do like Steam, I still try to keep my gaming library as DRM-free as possible. Once I got Steamworld Dig, I hardly played anything else for a solid week. It's THAT good.

Damnit, I had resolved not to buy this, but you people are slowly talking me into it. I may have to stop checking this thread. ;)

I played this shortly after release. Great game actually.
Posted February 14, 2014
Naturally I just got this for 3ds a couple weeks ago.

Well, I'll get it here later on down the road.

This one looks pretty good!
Actually, looks like an update on a flash game that had a cactus as a protagonist...

What does "emergent gameplay" actually mean? It's a thing I keep seeing in game descriptions, but I have no clue.

Read the description, saw the screenshots, bought the game!

emergent gameplay
In games with complex physics and flexible object interaction it may be possible to complete in-game problems using solutions that the game designers did not foresee.

Sold! I read up on it quite a bit when it was released on Steam, but I was hoping this would eventually show up here. :)
