Same thing with Winter Wolves. I don't always understand GOG's reasonings for refusing a game. Sometimes it seems it's a matter of graphics or genre (or maybe snobbery against visual novels), but that's just my speculation.

I wish GOG would include more obscure, niche and experimental titles like Cinders.

Is Cinders that experimental? I thought it was a straight visual novel, though a very good one?

Same here. I would rather decide if it's a bad game and not GOG. They have a small selections of games anyways so why would they refuse to list a new game is beyond me. Unless, as I said above, it's for financial reasons.

I'm neither of fan of VN nor an expert on them. In my opinion it's a VN with lots of choices which is how a VN should be IMO.

Good question, because I don't always understand too GOG's reasonings for refusing a game.
Like this: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/yatagarasu-attack-on-cataclysm
I send message how is GOG release, because we need more 2d fighting games and I got answer:

Hi Valdo,

Thank you for your kind note. To your questions: yes, it will be DRM free and I can't really say about GOG.com for now. Ween previously requested that GOG carry our games, they declined because they are 'too arcade style'. Yatagarasu is another arcade style game, so by that criteria they would not be interested :( .
I was trying to buy it mainly because of cinders, but paypal keeps forcing me to create an account so, unfortunetly it's a no buy for me. :(
nvm

I've found out why I didn't get Cinders: I accidentally typed in $2,35 (with a colon) instead of $2.35. The GamesRage website accepted that and allowed me to distribute $2.35, suggesting everything was in order, but Paypal cut all digits after the colon and only charged $2.00. I didn't realize this at first, since PayPal displayed the amount in euro only.

That still leaves me with the question on how to raise the paid amount retroactively. And the lack of response to my 2-day-old support request is disheartening. I don't mean to sound impatient, but this is a limited time offer, so I'd expect a timely reaction ...

EDIT:
I got a reply to my second mail now and they were able to sort this out and find a solution for my problem; but in general, they said, it's not possible to raise the amount you paid retroactively, so make sure you type in the right one!

2 more games were added: Magi and Hospital Haste. Currently you have to BTA of $4.71 to get them.

Sucks for anyone that wants them and bought the bundle previously, I doubt there's a way to increase payment option?

The new games don't look that interesting to me though.

Nope, like I wrote in my previous post, it's not possible to raise the amount you paid retroactively. In view of this fact, it's a pretty questionable decision to introduce a new layer of BTA games when the bundle is live for several days already. Luckily, in this case I wouldn't have paid extra to get these games anyway.

I have Magi from the Indie Underdog Pack bundle of a while back, it's not bad. I can actually see how some people could get really into it.

Oh, wow, that is ridiculous. I already bought the bundle days ago for $2.70, they won't be seeing any more money from me. What a crappy thing to do in their first bundle.

EDIT: Well, I just sent my first ever semi-angry e-mail. I'll let you know if I get a response.

Same story for me. I shelled out for this bundle two days ago, and opening their page today I saw two new games, I thought they might be bonuses and seeing one was an rpg was tickled pink. Then I discovered they had added a second tier. Honestly, do they actually expect us to cough up another 5 dollars for 2 unlockable games? If they don't know how bundles work they should not be in the business of selling them.
Did anyone try OddPlanet? When I start it, my monitor tells me it's using a "non-preset resolution" and then the screen is cut off some on the left side and the image appears a little stretched - probably a widescreen resolution not supported by my monitor -, but there appears to be no way to change the resolution, neither in-game nor in the game folder (it's just a simple executable, no config files, no setup.exe).

Does anyone have a clue what resolution the game is running in or how I can contact the develeoper, Piotr Krol? (I couldn't seem to find his e-mail address anywhere.)
I got an e-mail 10 hours ago, basically telling me to re-buy the bundle for around $2 (the amount I was missing for the new BTA tier) and then contact them again so that they'll unlock the games manually.
I see the bundle is over now, so too late.
Is Magi being sold anywhere? It's hard to find info about it.

You can buy it from the dev's webpage (via BMT Micro); it costs a little less than 10 euro.
