I'm pretty sure I played its OK demo back then so pass. Outlaws rocked.

Yes. Yes it did. But we already had a recent thread about that ;-)

"Valfaris is already in your Steam library". :P

"Code has already been entered"  I'm not sure if this means you blocked
me, or if someone else got it.

Well, I don't know why I'd block you if I could, but I don't have that
power anyway. Once the key goes up, it's free for anyone to try, and
since it's a one-use item, once somebody claims it, everyone else just
gets an error message for their troubles.

It's not really clear if somebody using a key when they already have
the game in their library 'uses it up' or not, but it is possible, so
please plesae PLEASE everybody, check your accounts before grabbing a
key.

But generally, the TL;DR is that you were just too slow, Justisaur ;-)

I'm not really into platforms any more, I just thought I should try to
get one, and this one looked possibly fun.

I was never really into platformer games; I play them and even
occassionally enjoy them, but they're never my first choice when it
comes to deciding what to play next. I think this is partly because
for the longest time platformers were largely the staple of console
games. Not only did this trigger my PC Master Race tendencies, but the
majority of games -and especially platformers- on consoles tended to
be designed for the younger set, and were less appealing to me.

Over the years, of course, PCs have gained a lot of great platformers
of their own, and the genre as a whole has become more sophisticated,
but I'm set in my ways, so platforming remains the less appealing
choice for me.
