I just saw that you can get the remastered collection of Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert for 4 EUR, brilliant!

Trying to decide between Abyssus and Jump Space. Mostly trying to figure out if my friends will have any free time for the forseeable future to play it, since we started getting back into Payday 2 after spending a long while on Vintage Story

Cuboid Keeper was already on my wishlist and showed up as the cheapest game at 1.59 CAD. Notable because it currently has a 100% positive rating (though only 11 reviews). Released in 2019, too. I added the game to my wishlist because the same people (person? Website seems to suggest it’s just one guy) made Eventide Matter, a short space resource gathering/building/upgrading game.

FYI, Cuboid Keeper plays poorly on controller, and can’t run with Steam Input at all. If you play on KBM, it’s ok, but otherwise it’s just brokenly designed and not getting fixed because the dev doesn’t care anymore.
I play a lot of top-down and twin-sticks, so there might be something for you here: infosec.pub/post/48529166/22456105

Ah that sucks, I like KBM but it seems like a good controller candidate as it just needs two vectors (movement and aiming) plus two buttons (at least as far as I got so far, there’s only main fire and secondary fire). Sounds like something that shouldn’t even take long to implement with steam input.
I actually just used steam input for the first time yesterday and thought you might be referring to the same thing as it was annoying during the process of figuring out the correct setup. It’s a Nintendo layout but was being detected as an Xbox layout, so all the buttons were reversed. Either that or Binding of Isaac deliberately set up the controls to be counter-intuitive and my using steam input to remap to more intuitive controls is cheating lol. And it didn’t help that I had another controller that also identifies as an xbox controller and spent some time remapping that one and wondering why it wasn’t doing anything in the game before I noticed it was being picked up (but doesn’t really function so I didn’t even realize it was still plugged in).

Probably Soul Hackers 2. I know it’s not considered particularly good, but I like the aesthetic and it’s cheap enough that I don’t mind trying it.

I’ve got Astralbringer (crazy mouse shmup, not actually on sale but that dev prices low and doesn’t really do Steam sales), Shikhondo: Blue Pieta (horizontal scrolling shmup), Revo (fast kinda janky gallery shmup), and Beyond Solar (scrolling shmup). I’m looking into Star Vortex and Star Solar (both space ARPGs).
So kinda tame sale, and I’ve obviously been feeling pretty shmuppy lately (and I’ve got a loooot of those already to play :), but I’ve also got Denshattack release to look forward to on the 15th, depending on price.
No Summer Sale complaints here. Saw several games I often price check around sales take nice drops this time, so deals are out there.
