This sale has nearly doubled the amount of owners. That's incredible.

Yeah, that's crazy...
I can also report there are now over 102 thousand steam accounts that have the game. Getting up over 100k has always been a target. Nothing like a summer sale feature to help hit that :)
That's crazy! CONGRATULATION on selling that many copy's!

Altered for correctness. :)
Wow. Amazing. Congratulations! The 90% sale was a brilliant idea to increase product awareness (I wonder how many "new" new players bought it and how many of existing non-steam players decided to get a licensed copy to access further features). Anyways, your sales/marketing "team" did a great job! ;-)
By the way, I wonder whether there is a stat on steam that tracks the average (or median) of hours played (only counting users who own a particular game let's say for at least one month or so).
If one would compare these stat to the prices, I bet that CW3 would be near the top (not counting MMOs and MOBAs), even if you consider its original, pre-sale price.

All owners of non-steam versions of Creeper WOrld 3 can get a steam key for free. No need to buy a copy for that.

I'm one of those new steam users XD Couldn't pass up a strategy game on a sale like that. Now I haven't stopped playing it for the past two days.
Awesome...

Welcome to one of the biggest time sinks you'll ever find! ;)

I grabbed it in the sale and I'm glad I did as its awesome. I maybe would have missed it otherwise, unsure how seeing as I love TD games and I've been playing base building RTS games since C&C. I've always found 2D RTS games more appealing that the 3D.
Looking back at what I paid for it on sale seems criminal considering the amount of content and gameplay it has. I'll be sure to pay full price for the new title and hopefully they keep making good games.
I'll keep doing my best... and thanks for you support!

I've gone on record as saying that I've spent more time playing the Creeper World saga than any other game series.
And now, Virgil ('cos Knuckle Cracker is a 'he', not a 'they'!) has an an even more advanced title in the works. (http://knucklecracker.com/blog/)
Excitement is at fever pitch..!
Nice to see so many new faces around the forum - guess it must be all those new players we were just reading about!
Awww maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, there was a sale? I just bought it for full price. :(
Oh well, if it's as much fun as Creeper World 1 and the Kongregate games, then it will eventually give me my money's worth.

It will and then some. I gladly bought the game for full price and then bought it on sale to give to a friend! I've spent more time on this $15 game than any other Steam game I own, including AAA titles.
Hmm... it's a different sort of fun than I have with CW1, where I just sort of go on autopilot and aim to speed-run the day's Chronom. I am having fun with it. I've gone through about half the story, have done the Credits and am working my way around Prospector Space. ( I've tried a few DHD maps and custom maps, but I decided to wait on Farbor and on Tormented Space until I've a bit more practice under my belt.)
Still, I'm enjoying it more than any other Steam game I've got except for Gemcraft, and the nice thing about playing on Steam is racking up various achievements. So far in the first week I've got about half done.
I'm looking at the Global Achievement's page. This is very odd: Only 95% of all the people who've bought this game have built a collector. That means 5% quit after the title screen. Or something. (I was thinking a few people just used reactors & relays, but I'm not sure how to get through Tempus in the first system without building 10 collectors, as that's part of the assignment.)

If I were to guess as to why that's the way it is I'd say it's probably due to the summer sale. I know that I've bought games from the summer sale before simply because they were cheap and looked like they'd be fun to play. Then I get caught up in some other game (often CW3) and never actually get around to playing them.
I bought CW3 during the summer sale. It was basically free; best purchase I've made in years!
I remember when I purchased CW3. Before, CW1 and 2 were available for about 35$. I really liked the free parts, but one and two were always casual/flash games in my mind so I said no. But then, CW1, 2, and 3 were all available together for about 35$. So I said, that is my price range. Little did I realize CW3, it is much bigger than CW1 and 2. I made a blind purchase and effectively underpaid.
I have the steam version and the one I got from beta. I haven't gone on the steam one at all because I already had the original one installed.

Are there any differences as far as features? For example, I know the original Creeper world version that I downloaded from Knuckle-Cracker has a different chronom algorithm than the one on Kongregate.
Kongregate doesn't have the full game - It is a stripped down version of an early version of the original. So yeah, lots of feature difference there. For Steam vs download here, there are no differences besides steam integration (cloud saves, badges, etc.)
