 Attention all moon mutants and interstellar aliens! Be sure to stop by and like the brand new Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space Facebook page. Why, you may ask? Shouts, space news & lots more! (New players: get Weird Worlds for Win, iPad & Android here.)
Seasons greetings from Digital Eel! When there's a nip in the air, snowflakes on your nose and you hear the sound of Santa's sleighbells, you know it's either time to have your head examined or time for the Steam Holiday Sale! (Thankfully, it's the latter.)
Beginning today, Thursday, December 18, and continuing until Friday, January 2nd, INFINITE SPACE III: SEA OF STARS (Early Access), WEIRD WORLDS: RETURN TO INFINITE SPACE (space!), DATA JAMMERS: FASTFORWARD (arcade!) and BRAINPIPE: A PLUNGE TO UNHUMANITY (??!!) are each available for less than the cost of a Back in the Box hanguber--and yum yum. They taste better too!
Please note that ALL Digital Eel games are alien-tested and approved for KIDS, TEENS, ADULTS and REPTILOIDS from Bellatrix IV. Feeling festive? Who the heck isn't! Remember: Digital Eel games make perfectly silly and surprising virtual stocking stuffers. Happy Krimble!

It's the  Summer Sale!
Isn't summer grand! BUT before you head out to the beach or campground, be sure to stock up on lots of Digital Eel games, and this is the very best way! Remember the old adage? He who seeks, obtains. Well, thanks to Steam, all Digital Eel games are discounted this week to make obtaining them...a snap (or a click even). Plus, they're irresistible! (Not to mention gluten-free.)
First up is Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars (33% OFF) which is a Steam Early Access game--this means it is a "work in progress," but allows you to own and help playtest the game before its full release. Also available are Sea of Stars's precursor, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (50% OFF), the innovative and award winning space SF roguelike hybrid, Data Jammers: FastForward (50% OFF), a retro-styled 3D racing and destruction "arcade" game, and Brainpipe: A Plunge to Unhumanity (50% OFF), the original, and award winning, mind bending psychedelic arcade game that "changed little Billy."
Thanks to Steam for putting on a heck of a sale, and thanks to you all for checking out and supporting Digital Eel games!

Indie Developer Accepts $60 billion Social Networking Deal
After secret negotiations, and much soul searching, indie developer Digital Eel has announced that its entire catalog of games has been sold to social networking giant Facebuck for $60 billion. Titles like Brainpipe and Weird Worlds were acquired for up to $4.7 billion each.
Most noteworthy is the acquisition of several as yet unpublished games (rumored to be worth up to $1 trillion) including Dr. Blob's Revenge, Smorbler, Swamp Planet Weekend, Scrilch! and the much anticipated but as yet unseen Basilisks & Biplanes.
 When asked to comment, Digital Eel co-founder Rich Carlson stated "We believed in the indie spirit and lived it from the get go. It wasn't about the money. But that was then and this is now, and now it's time to sell out, baby." Co-founder Iikka Keranen quickly added "I just bought the entire island of Bora Bora. It's awesome!"
Effective this week, Digital Eel becomes a Facebuck subsidiary and will be known as Eelface. Apparently founders Carlson and Keranen are not affiliated with the organization or its products (having since disappeared).
Eelface has announced its first two projects: Klobs: Into Darkness reintroduces the lighthearted children's puzzle game, Klobs, and plunges it into darkness. Platform Defense is a game for people who want to play games but can't make up their minds. Both games are scheduled for summer release but probably not because it's April Fools Day!
