Have you heard ofAuditorium? It’s a fantastic Flash game from the Philadelphia-based indie developer Cipher Prime. If you’re not familiar with it, you may read all about it in myIndie Nation articleon the game; when you’re done, come back here. But if you already know what I’m talking about, and you’ve been waiting with bated breath for more news onAuditorium, like me, then you might want to keep reading.

On Monday, Cipher Primeannounced on their blogthatAuditoriumhad finally been given a release date: the full game will be available on January 30th for $10.99. It’s still going to be a browser-based game, so a number of individuals — especially those who had already donated to Cipher Prime — weren’t too thrilled with the idea of paying $11 for a Flash game.

But as it turned out, the guys at Cipher Prime didn’t forget about all the donations they’d received. Yesterday, in ashow of good faith, they revealed that anyone who donated $5 or more will be able to get a full copy of the game forfree. Yes, you read that right. Getting up to $5.99 back is a pretty awesome return on your investment, isn’t it?

They’ve also promised that, in the coming days, we’ll get more details on exactly what the full game will comprise. Will you guys be lining up to buyAuditoriumnext Friday?
