Greenlit!
November 30th, 2012 - geminiradio

We're very happy to announce that Waking Mars will be coming to Steam thanks to the amazing support of the Greenlight community!

This is a huge day for us. As a small, fully-independent developer, being able to sell our game through Steam to a wide audience of gamers is a significant event for our business. Thanks so much to everybody who voted for us!

ABOUT STEAM KEYS

We've been asked a lot about Steam keys for people who have already bought the game. If you already purchased the game through the Humble Bundle you WILL receive Steam keys. We can also get you a Steam key down the road if you purchase the game for PC, Mac, or Linux through our website, which you can do right now at this address:

Finally had a chance to play this. Excellent game.

Want to say I really enjoyed playing this game :) It is very different and fun to get through, I love the exploring, discovering how the ecosystem works, getting everything completed and maxed out. The length of the game is good, i finished it in about 12 hours, but it left me wanting more! Thanks again.

Great game. Finished it to completion. The metroidvania meets ecology simulation gameplay is enjoyable and I really liked the presentation and the music so really... a very solid package all around.
