Hope this won't offend since it's not properly free, but Orcs Must Die 2 is free to play until 21st June and you can probably finish the single player in under 8 hours, if that's your thing. Not a bad game but was glad it wasn't longer than that.

Don't know how I missed I first time round, given how much I loved G-Police and this looks so similar. Might have to actually play one of these free games...

no game next week, just some unlocks for an f2p game

Huh. Saw a post this morning from a usually reliable place saying that next week would be Centipede: Recharged and Black Widow: Recharged (both are Geometry Wars style shooters). I wonder if there was a last minute change then. Hopefully they get these added back in or they appear soon.

These two space games have gone from paid to free to play, and can be added to your Steam account:

Astral Shipwright

Helium Rain

quote:

It's been about a decade since I first started prototyping a space game - one where you'd start off with a small ship and trade resources. Two games, three game engines and 15,000 copies sold later, here am I with a new life where I don't quite have the time for such work anymore.

Deimos Games will be shutting down this year. Both Helium Rain and Astral Shipwright will be going free-to-play, so that new players can still experience them in the future. As a reminder, both are also open-source, so if you were going to build anything based on these projects, you now have access to free content too. It's been refreshing to see game developers reuse code for their own projects, and I hope that will continue.

I want to thank all players who supported me on this endeavour. I'm truly happy that I was able to share my work with you.
