Awesomenauts Steam Beta Code Giveaway Part 1
We at Piki Geek are big fans of Awesomenauts. It brings the MOBA craze to consoles with simple, addictive, 2D gameplay. For the unitiated, you can read Chris Ullery’s review of Awesomenauts.
Since launch, gamers have begged for a version of Awesomenauts to be released on the PC. Well, that’s finally happening! But before a proper PC release there’s the requisite beta. Which means beta keys. Of which we have forty-nine. We’d have fifty except we gave one away on our Facebook earlier. Interested in earning an Awesomenauts beta code? Keep on reading.
We’ll give twenty out today and twenty tomorrow. All you have to do is comment on this post. When it reaches fifty comments, fifty Facebook likes, or Fifty tweets on Twitter we’ll begin to give out some beta codes below this text. Simple and awesome.
Update: First batch of codes
That was fast! Here’s a tip from one of the creators of Awesomenauts about redeeming the codes:
Please note that you must also enable the Beta version of Steam to play! There is a bug in normal Steam that crashes Awesomenauts in windowed mode or using alt+tab. Here’s how to enable it:
-In Steam, in the top left click “Steam”, then “Settings”
-Under “Account”, under “Beta Participation” click “Change…”
-Add “Steam Beta Update”
-Steam will now restart. That’s it!
Without further adieu…

Claimed XDWF8-7AGIY-0TNEE.TYVM
Wellp, they have all been taken now.
half of them are invalid… the rest are taken
If steam say it is invalid, it means your are blocked to enter new keys in steam for like 40-50mins.
i claimed M8P3V, TY
H74BL-6B50E-FVKBH used

cant believe they went so fast
I’ll add a few more codes in a bit! Hang tight.
Any idea how long until you post the next set of keys? I’ve been refreshing forever! haha
I would love a beta key =)
My favorite part was when Steam locked me out of adding keys…. stupid system :c.
Hopefully the timer runs out before the next set of keys.
Same for me
really sucks
Same for me x_x I hate the system they have.
See, this is why I tried to put some time in between posting keys.
How long do you expect us to sit here refreshing man? Please post them soon…
Lol was just thinking the same thing
We gotta be absolutely demolishing their bandwidth. Hurry up and post! I got things to do today man! haha
Our bandwidth is alright, thanks for your concern.
What a fucking joke, do you really expect us to sit here for over an hour refreshing your shitty website while you do what???
Are you getting off on the fact u are wasting peoples time? Gone to masturbate to it?
Seriously, fuck you and fuck your shitty website.
Cunt.
This comment will surely increase your chances. That’s how it works, right?
um…it’s been half an hour now…?
ASSHOLE WHY MAKE US WAIT FOR SO LONG????????????
F U C K Y O U Dan Tallarico
If you don’t get a code today remember to come back tomorrow! Awesomenauts, hooooooooooooo.
They say patience is a virtue, clearly this comment section is lacking =)
Well, an hour for ‘in a bit’ is really understatment
Fucking serious… I wait for over 3 hours for keys and get up to finally eat some food and more keys are posted and gone…. I quit, fuck this. I can’t sit here waiting for keys for the next week until everyone else gets one first.
Not meant to be a reply… but whatever.
Talk about bad timing. We’ll have some more tomorrow. Plan to fast then?
Can we get a ballpark timeframe at least? Like “posting within the next hour” or something. I”ve been waiting here for over an hour trying not to crap my pants cause I want a code
Of the last 25 comments of the original 50. I, personally, was about 20 of them using a fake email. I’m happy I got to claim one of the codes when they went up.
Their facebook said about 2pm est, which is past now, but still in the general time frame
yay claimed IKR9C-7Q5KK-4LVV4
got one, i think it was R3KG6-FQWJ3-XEWM3 but it might have been another, i copied a second just incase that didn’t work

Claimed: TD5ZQ-RID32-N0ZDC (the last one)
Couldn’t do jack squat because of stupid Steam blocking after TWO tries! WTH.
We’ll have more tomorrow and I’ll wait longer between putting out keys so people have a chance both times.
Dude im just giving up, I spent the past 2 freaking days F5ing different sites only to have them all be like this and get locked out of steam because most sites to say which keys are taken. So ridiculous…
Same here. I was F5ing this site and the moment it updated, I grabbed one only to find that Steam didn’t want to cooperate because of my previous attempts to see if the keys were taken or not.
I’m familiar with your pain, my fellow soon-to-be-awesomenaut(er?)
This scoundrel Steam may have slightly upset me.
It’s an unfortunate system. You know exactly what the cool down is on entering Steam beta keys?
I think the cooldown is about an hour. Thanks for showing some concern on this. Most sites dont give a shit and just keep posting. Main reason why I spent these past couple of days blind F5ing and still havent gotten anything. I think you get 5 keys and if they are all already taken you get locked out for an hour.
@Dan:
No, I wasn’t even aware of this ‘limit system’, until now.
Done some quick googling between the two sets of beta keys, found nothing.
With 3.5 hours F5 ing commenting, trying, waiting. Still no avail. sorry, if I’ve put those times into work I’ll ready earned a copy of this plus a meal.This is just stupid. I’ll just pull like and blacklist this site.
doomleika out.
@Dan After 5 failed attempts you get put in timeout for an hour. It’s a bullshit system.
Missed the giveaway today, but I’ll be sure to keep an eye out tomorrow. Have you considered doing a raffle instead of just putting the keys up on the site? That way you can be sure they don’t all go to the same person.
man I missed some event earlier and now I am trying to get a key like hell!
Please post some more, you can do it
I have no idea how the timezones influence this
missed the codes – hope you post some more
would be amazing
Moar codes please. :3
Need some codes brah
