Am I not able to download this DRM-Free from a direct link? Humble Bundle removed Overgrowth from my library. I still don't know why.

I'm wondering, since the two previous beta threads have been stickied, should not this thread be stickied aswell?

Edit: By stickied, I mean a thread that stays on the top of the page, even if newer threads are created.

Hey, first time commenting after a long while.

So, I've actually pre-ordered Overgrowth a looooong time ago, back when we would be issued a preorder Key. Therefore, I don't have it on Steam or on Humble Bundle. Is there any way I could activate it on steam with my old preorder key?

I don't know how many people know this but Overgrowth has 4 player split-screen... WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?! I've waited so long for it but I never read or saw anything about it until about two days ago.
