It's that time again




http://humblebundle.com

I'm probably throwing a few dollars in once my paycheck comes in. I'm excited to finally get vvvvvv and crayon physics looks interesting.


For those of you who don't know by now, this is a special deal where you name your own price for 5 indie games to do with as you please. This not only benefits the Humble Bundle guys or the developers, but some will also go to charity, with the amounts sent to each set by you.

This bundle includes:
  1. Crayon Physics Deluxe
  2. Cogs
  3. VVVVVV
  4. Hammer Fight
  5. And Yet It Moves

haven't played any of them, but wasn't particularly interested. Still, might be worth picking up, even if I never play them. Charity and stuff.

I already had And Yet it Moves and VVVVVV, but I picked it up anyway for the others. Fun fun fun fun.

Threw some money at mostly developers last night. Already finished Cogs and had VVVVVV before this, but still bought the bundle. Was interested in Crayon Physics for a long while anyway.

The Frozen Synapse bundle is a bundle, it comes with like 4 other games (one is just a prototype though and won't be finished)

Little weird to only have the base "bundle" be one game. I might bite though, because I missed out on the Frozenbyte bundle last time and I kind of felt bad. Will probably direct most of it to charity again

Not really, it comes with an old bundle which most HIB fans have already. Sure you can give they key for it to a friend but the main 'bundle' is one game.

Edit: They call it a Debut this time.

There's a rumour that they might add Blocks That Matter and The Binding of Isaac, but as it is I'm not interested. Bloodeh game isn't even finished! D:

If they do add the Binding of Isaac then I'll consider buying.

I picked it up. I'm a little torn about BoI though, I haven't played it yet, and while it received pretty good reviews it looks like it's a little disturbing for my taste...

Also, the thread title should remove the #3 so this can be a general Humble Bundle thread.

The only thing that's disturbing about it is the execution. I love satire and consider myself agnostic, but the story was so poorly executed it seemed like it was just offensive to be offensive and that offended me.

Was thinking about that. Done now.

I feel like this bundle is coming out too soon after the last one. The novelty wears off each time they do it and I feel like enthusiasm would be higher if they kept them spread out.

Not sure how interested I am in any of these games but I'll think about it.

Well, the newest one seems to be most interesting pack of games to me by far.
Take my money.
(And yeah, I don't still quite understand why make these so often?)

Featuring:
Jamestown
Bit:Trip Runner
Shank
Nightsky HD
Super Meat Boy
And you get Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space battles if you pay more than the average.

yeah the newest one is way better than any of the others

I bought it at work, thinking I could gift the Super Meat Boy to a friend for Christmas, but I can't - well, via Steam I can't. I can still give out the DRM-free downloadable version. Hopefully that's the exact same game, give or take a couple playable characters.

I bought it primarily for Shank, but also kind of wanted Cave Story + since I have yet to pay for the game and I adore it so

This has been a good week for mobile gaming. First the Steam client, and now this.

Most of the games this time around were already out. I only got this one for my dad's android so he had some cheap new games to play.

Overall, meh.

Thanks for telling about those other bundles. Wasn't really interested about newest humble bundle so i'm skipping it. Gotta say indie royale's bundles never had anything interesting either so yeah, could as well call them stuff. Indie gala bundle's Bunch of heroes interests a bit, but already bought fortix 2 off steam sale so not getting it either. subscribed to all of them though~

HiB 5 is out and it is aaaaawesome. I already have most of the games so I don't know if I'll get it myself, but I recommend it highly. Make sure you BTA so you can grab Bastion.

I don't have it, nor do I have money at the moment :<

I feel like a bastard gamer because I haven't even played Psychonauts yet.

I rented Psychonauts from Gamefly quite a while ago but I never finished it. This will be a good chance to actually play it. Also, Bastion and Amnesia have me pretty excited.

Aww, I was specifically waiting for Limbo to be in a bundle, but I already own Bastion & Psychonauts and I'm not interested in the other two :(

The final level is the final level from VVVVVVVV.

And the ending sucks. It could have been cool, but it was stupid.

Ending synopses:
SPOILER
You fall through some glass and then just hit the ground and get up like you did in the beginning of the game. If you try going back the world you were in is gone. The area is nearly the same as when you started the game, but instead of starting the game over (like the ending should have done) you just walk right and see some girl by a treehouse notice you. The game then rolls the credits accompanied by an amazing soundtrack of nothing and then cuts back to the title screen where you see the same treehouse except the ladder and rope are old/broken and you see flies hovering above two spots suspiciously similar to the spots you and the girl were in at the end of the game.
The popular theory is that the girl is your sister and that was your treehouse. You fell off of the ladder on the treehouse or something and broke your necks. The boy feels guilty for this so he goes through Limbo or something. The theory is retarded, but it's probably less retarded than the actual intent of the game.

Once you get over the semi-impressive animations (that would only work with this monochromatic style) you have a two hour, poorly drawn art exhibit. It's easy until the last quarter of the game and then the puzzles are slightly more difficult because there aren't good hints at what you're actually supposed to be doing and you'll run around like an idiot for 10 minutes at a time until you figure out some stupid way something is supposed to work.

It's a very overrated game, but it isn't completely terrible.
