One of the most interesting things of bundles and sales is that they will highlight games and developers that can otherwise go unnoticed. The opportunity for something interesting, abstract, and unknown to become featured to a wide audience is always really exciting, not just for the developers, but also for the fans who can be exposed to something that may join the ranks of their favorite games and series.
Indie Game Stand
Starting the ranks this week is Indie Game Stand’s Pay-What-You-Want offering, which is Attack of the Labyrinth, a co-op action dungeon crawler.
Bundle Stars
