I've been meaning to rank and review these for a long time, and with the new addition of Sokpop seasons, the 2 year anniversary, and being added to Steam, now felt like the correct time!
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Being the sixth season already, Sokpop is only getting better at making great games, fast. The diversity and quality of these titles really shows this, and therefor it's a bundle that's not to be missed! Prices, history graph and more for the Bundle 'Sokpop Season #8' (UK region).

Unplayable because of the slow movement speed ;-; sad because the game looks really spooky and fun, and I wanted to try it!! Idk if it's a problem with just the Mac version or with Windows too, but until there's a fix, definitely skip this one.
EDIT: ok, after attempting to play for a while, there are even more problems... framerate is really low, ropes freak out when I throw them, the WASD controls reverse randomly (forward becomes back, etc), movement speed is even slower in the cave. My computer probably isn't beefy enough to handle the game. I have a mid-2015 macbook pro, so if you have anything as old as that/older, skip this one!! I've heard that lowering the resolution resolves the movement speed issue on windows, but for me, no dice.
Goblet Cave translated spelunk in a way I didn't know I needed! It's aready one of my favorite games of Sokpop.
Said that, It would be awesome to see some quality of life improvements:
-Rope toss is iffy, off-centered.
-Ladder and girder placement is finnicky to the point of rendenring them useless sometimes.
-Bombs are too underpowered to be of real value.
Besides those, there's some bugs that are really frustrating after investing time in the cave:
-As mentioned below, Player movement slowdowns sometimes, seriously hindering maneuverability.
Sokpop Season 5
-Sometimes the dialog for bringing back sons is not triggered (I've never been able to deliver all three because of this).
-Cave gen sometimes made entry-less starts, making me worried that there's no garanteed path to the Goblet (I never found it). Considering rubies are a finite source, I got stuck with no way of buying more bombs to keep looking even after hitting bedrock.
I'm a Patreon supporter, never been to anything else but for Sokpop. I'm very hopeful of this one getting a second treatment, simply because it's so much fun.
I think this is a glitch but my forward move speed is really really slow... much slower than the merchant guy. I barely crawl forward.
It's that time of the year again where I give away a bunch of Steam keys I got from this years Yogscast Jingle Jam! It's usually on Humble Bundle but this year it's on Tiltify. If you're interested in getting the whole lot, the bundle costs 25 English Pounds (about USD 33/AUD 45) and you can decide from a whole list of charities that you'd like to support. This year I donated to ILGA World, an organisation dedicated to campaigning for the rights of intersex, lesbian, gay and trans people around the world.
Anyway enough about the gift of giving, here's this years list of games that are up for grabs.
Sokpop Season 9
Note that keys will be given away on a first come first serve basis. You can pick more than one game but don't be greedy about it. If more than one person asks for the same third game I'll put the names in an RNG thing. Accounts made just to get a key will not be given one. Established members of the community only. If you don't know what some of these games are, all the titles include links to their Steam pages. So just sift through them and see if you can find something you like!

* AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected

Real nice of you to do this, suppose I'll throw in for Don't Starve, always looked interesting, but I never checked it out.
Oh cool! I'll take purrfect date, but cool with anybody else who'd want it more later.
Really nice of you to do this again so thanks.
I'll take Transistor and if no asks for it Starbound as well,if someone does ask for it you can give it to them.
@dojo32161, @freelancepolicefan11 and @iFoRias. Steam keys have been sent.
To iFoRias, I'll keep the Starbound key for a couple days and if it isn't gone I'll send it to you.
Can you hit me with Prison Architect? Appreciate it!

I haven't played it since its early access days, but it was real fun creating and expanding some big prison layouts.@lupinb0y I'll take Sokpop Season 6 for now!

Always appreciate your generosity.
Sunless Sea would make a fine addition to my collection.
Steam keys have been sent to @4k60fpsHDR, @AChicken, @InGen_Nate_Kenny and @IronWoodLover.
Not looking for any games, just wanted to drop in and say that what you are doing is a great gesture, and although it won't impact me, I thank you for your charity
As always, this is super cool and kind of you! I'll take Dicey Dungeons, please! Thanks!

Awesome of you to be doing this during these tough times. I’ll be sure to pass it along when I’m able. Is there any way I could get Starbound please? Thanks so much

Ya'll are more than welcome to ask for additional keys. I ain't gonna do anything with them anyhow.
P.S. iForias. Sent you Starbound.
Hehe, that's alright. If I asked for more, I know I would never get around to them. Backlog is huge as it is. 😀

I’ll take Drawful 2.
I would like to repeat that I won't give Steam keys to people who made an account just to get a free game. I don't know where these people come from everytime I do a giveaway.
I’ll take Rise of Industry, and if nobody else asks for it after a decent time, For The King.
