Vortex Attack final version in STEAM for 4.99USD

Post by Kaleidogames »

Hi there,

I presented you Vortex Attack a few month ago, it was a version between alpha and beta.

The game has been vastly improved thanks to your help, take a look at the VIDEO:

Download it now from STEAM (well worth 5$) from here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/357890

By the way, there is already people with one of the 1CC achievements.

Good luck getting them all. :mrgreen:

Is this locked to Steam DRM?
Of course, that's just an opinion.

My guess is yes, because it looks like it uses Steamworks.

There is a Desura version but It's outdated. But I will update it once I'm sure the steam version is 100% perfect.

Why, is there a problem with releasing a steam version for steam?
I'm asking honestly, I don't see how can that be a problem.

Some people do not like the idea of not being able to execute a game outside of Steam, is all. Ownership stuff.

Don't worry about it. He posts that after every mention of Steam games.

Yeah, a non-Steam version would be great. Is Desura another Steam-like client, or is it just a storefront?

It's a storefront basically, but they sell Steam and DRM-free games, the latter of which you can just download from your account once you've purchased it. I've bought a few games from them and everything went fine, so no worries on that front either.
