Have the standard consumer holidays left you feeling gloomy? Downtrodden by the abundance of cheer? There’s a cure for that.
It’s Festivus for the rest of us! Get free videogames* for playing videogames!
*Antichamber, Awesomenauts, Bastion, Black Ice, Deus Ex, Dr. Spacezoo, Earthtongue, FTL, Guacamelee, Intruder, Jazzpunk, Lenna’s Inception, Quarries of Scred, Risk of Rain, Soundodger+, Steam Marines, World of Goo
Sounds easy, right? Then you’re ready for the 2014 Feats of Strength. For Nonadecimal’s First Annual Festivus Giveaway, bright-eyed consumers threw themselves at the merciless levels of Afterdeath for the chance to win two Ouya consoles. But that was last year.
This year, 21 champions will walk away with a free game of their choice. But to get the game of your dreams, you’re going to have to claw your way to the top of the Festivus pole.
That’s where BIKE GAME comes in. A cyclist’s nightmare on an infinite highway. Play it free on Game Jolt, take a screenshot of your farthest distance, and tweet it with the hashtag #BIKEGAME.
The 21 people who bike the farthest by January 31 each get to pick a game out of the remaining titles until there’s none left. And right now those people are:
