I tried the demo and liked it. It's like a mixture of Guacamelee! and Bit.Trip Runner, but Runbow didn't seem to be as polished as those games.

My my that's a high score for an indie game. Not many get over 85!

Yeah, generally speaking critics are much more lax for indie games and it does annoy me sometimes.

Tomorrow in NA and September for Europe.

The game is 15$, wich doesn´t seem cheap but all the reviews says that it has a ton of content for the price.

That´s because indie game scores doesn´t have to be compared with full priced retail games, ever, some people do it just because it fits their agenda. This game costs 1/4 of a normal one, and it looks like a great party game with tons of content, indies have their own league.

Played the demo and enjoyed it quite a bit. It was pretty addicting. Glad to see it getting high marks!

One problem I have with this is some indie games are genuinly great to my mind and worthy of great scores equal to quality full priced games. If you're going to inflate scores because of the price how will you distinguish the truely great indie games from the ok ones.

I'm not saying price and value shouldn't be considered at all in a review but the balance reviewers are striking seems wrong.

Didn't play the demo but ill check into this game and might buy.

If the game is good is rated as a good game, but when a game costs 15$ it doesn´t need to have high production values or 200 hours of gameplay, as good as Shovel Knight is, it wouldn´t have the same score if it was a 60$ game, because the production values don´t fit the price at all, does it makes Shovel Knight any worse? Of course it doesn´t. And if the game is bad it doesn´t matter if it costs 2$, it has bad reviews, Devil´s third would have bad reviews even at 10$, because it has content but not quality.

Guess I'll have to try the demo
