Get a free copy of Larva Mortus this week!

From the IndieGames.com blog:
Follow Twitter Accounts, Get Free Games

Rake in Grass is currently running a Larva Mortus giveaway promotion, where the first fifty followers of their Twitter account will get a copy of the full game for free. There were at least twenty-two copies left to grab at the time of writing.

As proven by Wolfire and Pocketwatch Games' free game promotions, indie game developers stand to gain a lot in return (everything from growing support to sales increases) just by giving away their games.

If you have a Twitter account for development updates and encountered difficulties in getting the word out, then start giving some games away today.

[UPDATE: Rake in Grass' giveaway promotion has been extended for an extra week, so there's plenty of time for everybody to follow their Twitter account and get a free code for Larva Mortus.]

There's a demo for the game here (Steam).

FYI, it's for Win/Mac systems. ;-)

edit: Yay, I already received mine. :D

    Followed on Twitter less than half hour ago and got my code. I'm at work so I can't try it out yet but from the website it looks like horror style Smash TV! Also while on the website came to realize they make some really decent WinMo games that I've played. Undercroft especially.

    Larva Mortus is incredibly addicting, I must've spent a few hours with the demo.

    Got my code. Downloading the game now.

    Also, you might want to change the thread title to be more specific: "Get a free copy of Larva Mortus this week" would work. As it is now, it looks like a spam thread.

    Got my code, skimmed the site while I'm at work. Where does one input the code?

    You need to download the demo, which is the full game, and then input the code inside the game.

    Nifty. I hadn't heard of the game, but it looks amusing. The price is right too.

    It's a great shooter.

    Got this game ages ago. It's pretty fun, but I far prefer Jets 'n' Guns, which is their sidescrolling Tyrian style shmup. If you haven't tried it, it's awesome, the name pretty much says it all. Plus they realised that the entire concept of a shmup is patently ridiculous and ran with that to create some absolutely loopy level concepts, like one taking place at a rock concert, or at a zombie safari.

    I'm apparently stupid. Where in the game do you enter your code? I don't see a suitable option.

    im pretty sure it asks you to input the code when you install the game.

    You also dont need the demo to get the full version as long as they sent you the code.

    Is the giveaway still going? Or are the 50 codes accounted for?

    By the time I read this thread yesterday, the 50 codes were gone.

    However, this was the twitter message:
    Great, 50 codes were gave away within 2 hours! We are extending GIVEAWAY for a week, and codes will be for everybody. Please be patient

    So I got my code!

    You can still download the demo on Steam and then insert the code there, mind you.

    The thing is that Steam won't show that you're playing the full game, even though it can be activated as such. It's why sometimes there are more people playing the EVE demo rather than the full game. People just use their old accounts.

    This game seems pretty fun, although I'm not sure how long it'll be able to keep my attention.

    I've got my game code but don't see anywhere to enter it in the steam demo. Am I completely blind or did they do a really good job hiding it?

    Hmm, I definitely recall it being in the demo that I downloaded from the dev's website. You should try it.

    Hello Dr. Gero,

    We are sorry, but the key must be used only in our official version only. You can download it at our page.
    Steam is an independent distributor, so we are not able to get codes/keys to your version.

    Kind regards,
    Pavel, Rake in Grass
