Snapshot is pretty OK, They Bleed Pixels looks amazing, the others I haven't touched yet

I'd say "They Bleed Pixels" is worth it, especially at a sale price. I have it and certainly enjoy it, and I'm rather frugal when it comes to buying games. It's quite the nice Action Platformer, definitely one of the more unique ones that I've played.

Stealth Bastard Deluxe still has a free version up, right at the bottom of the dev's homepage, over on the right side: http://www.stealthbastard.com/

They Bleed Pixels and Stealth Bastard Deluxe get my seal of approval. :)

I own some of them but didn't played enough to give my honest opinion =(
Super House of Dead Ninjas: I never played the steam version, but I know that it's the flash version expanded. It's a lot of fun, but for me, that was enough. I might buy it on sale, but anyway, you should try the flash version :)
Offspring Fling: it's more of a puzzle than a platformer really, and I think you can get better puzzle games for that price on sale.
Stealth Bastard Deluxe: I bought it on the indie sale but only played the first stages. It's a good mix between puzzle and platformers, and looks like there is a good amount of content.
Hope this helps you somehow :)

Of those, I've only played Offspring Fling! and Snapshot. Both are actually the same dev if I recall right, so they art styles and play styles are similar.
Snapshot really is the better of the two. Offspring Fling is cute and fun, but really just a bit too short and easy. If you want to grab it, do it on sale or try and win it from here.
Snapshot is definitely longer and the puzzles are pretty neat with the idea of copying and pasting stuff around. The one thing that really frustrates me the most is that it feels like it should play with a controller, but the controller commands for taking pictures and pasting them is awkward and frustrating (for me at least, others may find them easy enough to work with). But doing keyboard for running and such is also awkward for me. But mouse definitely is the best for taking pictures and pasting them. So my view on this would be to grab this one if you either are good at using keyboard and mouse for platformers or wouldn't find it awkward to use right stick to aim for photos and think you can even do that while in the air. Because the controls will be frustrating if you suck at them and are trying to get 100% complete because ugh, the par times.

They Bleed Pixels < very interesting so worth but wait for a sale.
La-Mulana < Seems funny but is very overpriced, never tried.
Stealth Bastard Deluxe < seems fun but do not buy it at full price too, never tried.
Offspring Fling! < Very bad game I regret activating it, got it from Humble Bundle.
Snapshot < it's funny, a lot of keys from Humble Bundle are on Steam Trades,.
Super House Of Dead Ninjas < Maybe is funny, judging by his Metascore, but for example I won't buy it even on sale.
From these games that I really like is They Bleed Pixels.

Paying 14€ or 12,6€ now for this platform game......in my opinion is very overpriced, you can get better game for this price, you can get a lot of really good games like Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, etc, on sale or buying from trusted ppl on Steam Trades.

I like, but I won't pay 14€ for a platformer game, or even on sale, for example Trine 2 is very good platformer that worth the money ( but obviously to get it on sale XD), I get games only on sale, don't know if you pay full price for games, this game could be sell at 5-8€ and this price would be great to it.
I don't know about that you say "not fair", but your money is not unlimited too, so when you have a option to buy a 50€ game on sale for 12.5€ or this platformer for same price, most ppl will choose first option. Obviously you can get this game on sale too, but a lot of times this game will go on bundle, so would be better buying there, but if you consider it worth buying on sale I don't say it's wrong, in the end it's just a opinion, like you will, but I'm not.

You're quite lucky to have gotten a couple of freebies there :) Snapshot is just epic! Ultimately challenging if you're into completing all possible achievements :) Offspring fling is one that I'd love to win myself, coz it looks like utmost fun! The others I wouldn't know anything about. Oh, yeah, Stealth Bastard has just gotten onto my map as well, I'll acquire and complete that piece ASAP.

I just played Offspring Fling! and it's very fun, I like it. :)
Also tried out Stealth Bastard (free version) and I like it as well. Supposedly it has additional 80 levels on top of free version so it's definitely worth a buy.
Edit: I like Snapshot as well, feels so fresh. :)

Some of you may remember my recent thread about platform games. The above listed games (among others) caught my attention and I plan to buy them (probably on summer sale), but I don't like buying blindly. Screenshots, reviews and gameplay videos can help only so much.
So, I would like to hear from people who actually played these games and spent more than an hour or two in them. Are they worth the money?
P.S. I'm aware that there are other (illegal) ways of trying out games, but I refuse to do that in this case.
Edit: Some generous soul just gave me keys for Offspring Fling! and Snapshot. :) You know who you are, many thanks!
