Sleep Is Death is now pay-what-you-want
As of right now, there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't at least try Jason Rohrer's delightful, unique game, Sleep Is Death. Rohrer has officially lowered the price to ... well, whatever you're willing to pay for it. The minimum is $1.75 -- in order to cover processing and bandwidth fees -- but beyond that you can set your own price. The purchase nets two copies of Sleep Is Death -- one for you and one for a friend on Mac, Linux, or PC -- along with access to all future updates. In case you missed our hands-on impressions of the game, it's essentially an adventure game with a sizable twist: it's actually being created as you play. It can only be played between two people, with one acting as the 'player' and the other acting as 'controller,' who creates the story and game assets on the fly. If it sounds bizarre, it is, but it's also one of the most intriguing game concepts we've seen this year. Whatever you choose to pay for it, it will be a small price to pay for the opportunity to create stories like this. [Via GameSetWatch]
Pencil in your own price for Crayon Physics Deluxe
Following the example set by the very successful pay-what-you-want World of Goo sale, Crayon Physics Deluxe creator has dropped the price of his physics puzzle game to the low, low, price of whatever. To celebrate his birthday, Kloonigames' Petri Purho has instituted a "pay what you want" sale through January 15. It's up to you, then, whether you follow the example of the guy who paid $150 for World of Goo, or of the jerks who paid a penny. We might suggest that paying a penny for the game that he worked on for years is a pretty crummy birthday present to give Purho. Try the demo first -- it's actually free. [Via VG247]
