I'd toss it on my phone. It's great and melodic, but then I'm the guy that has the chrono trigger, final fantasy 6 and xenogears soundtrack on my phone. ;)

I picked up two more copies in addition to my own from release for Christmas gifts, I definitely know one friend who's getting one lol, the other I'm not sure about but its $7.50 to a developer I'd love to see more games from, so I consider it win/win.

Just bought it based on the recommendations here. Thanks dudes. Another addition to my backlog. :)

I played the demo and thought it was one of the best demo's I've ever played, but once I got to the platform for building you realize how short the game probably is. So I decided to wait for a sale.

Since I have a backlog myself, I have time to wait for another sale, but from the demo if I had instant time available, it would have been worth the $15.

If you're suspecting that there's only a single stage per empty spot in the Bastion, you'd be wrong. :p

I believe there are actually 2 * <spots in Bastion> + 3 + <number of weapons> + 1

The game runs about 10 hours, with additional score/time based challenges available, the ability to replay with extremely customizable difficulty levels through the "Totem" system, as well as a "New Game+" mode unlocking after finishing, though I myself still haven't gone through that so I can't say exactly what it is.

Steam has to have the worst soundtrack support that I've ever seen. The only way to access the soundtrack (I bought Bastion's) is to go to the game's folder manually. :|

EDIT:

Listening to this song makes me want to go roll around. :oops:
