Finished:
Burly Men at Sea - fun at first, but tedious if unlocking all paths
Full Throttle Remastered - I missed that soundtrack more than I realized
Hidden Folks - it’s ugly, but somehow fascinating at the same time
Hyper Light Drifter - snazzy, atmospheric setting with thought-out combat - blade-play is spot on and blinking around just makes it better
Old Man’s Journey - short and straightforward, with a few beautiful visuals
Subsurface Circular - lovely bite-sized narrative game

I was thinking about getting the $1 tier from humblebundle just for Burly Men at Sea. Is it worth it?

I got the $1 tier for Full Throttle myself, so Burly Men was more of a bonus for me. Personally, I probably wouldn’t buy the bundle just for it, but it’s really a matter of taste/expectations. It’s a small game, has a rather catchy tune, and it is fun in small bites. It will likely make you smile a few times. At the same time, the “branches” are short (probably 10-15 mins per playthrough), some bits repeat every time (and don’t seem skippable) and the game is fairly simple. There isn’t that much there, but what is there is colourful and it does have charm. Sorry, probably not helping. If you are ok with a short game, handful of choices in total and cycle-round gameplay (each run is a variation of the main theme), go for it, but if you’re looking for a deeper branching narrative or don’t like going through motions and repeating events, might be wiser to pass.
