[SecretMoblin]

hey, it's not completely baffling and awful!!!


A bunch of these games are genuinely great (albeit simple); folks on the fence should consider watching some videos and throwing some money the devs' way.

 

[Lambtron]

Metal Slug 3 is one of the very best videogames ever made. It's well worth the cost of this bundle.

 

[gngf123]

Oh damn it's Metal Slug!

I've heard a few things about a few of the games in this bundle, might be one I'll buy this time.

 

[Damaniel]

I'm in - didn't own any of these on Steam or Android and really wanted Fieldrunners 2. Plus more games coming later for those who BTA.

(And yeah, those last couple weeks of daily Humble Bundle deals were pretty awful. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak, but I don't think I gave even a single one of them a second glance.)

 

[Sho Nuff]

I worked on Skulls of the Shogun but I'm gettin' this for METAL SLUG 3!

 

[SatoAilDarko]

At least two of the BTA games are repeats. This may be the first Humble Android bundle I don't beat the average. I'll wait to see what week 2 games are add before I buy.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Now I can own Metal Slug 3 on Android, and the mobile port on Steam.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Worth it for Skulls of the Shogun. Don't really care about the rest

 

[FYC]

Any thoughts on Symphony? Sounds excellent.

 

[Hesemonni]

Bying it for Skulls of the Shogun. There's something about the humour which I really like.

 

[bigkrev]

Metal Slug 3 was part of a Mobile Bundle, but that was Android only- you are getting a PC Steam Key as well this time

 

[Rabbit Clock]

Is it petty that I did an even 50/50 split between charity and developers and put nothing towards the humble tip? I don't actually care because the last two weeks were embarrassing.

 

[Ceebs]

In for Skulls of the Shogun. I had sort of forgotten about that game. I kinda feel bad for those guys at this point though. The Windows 8 Exclusive killed the hype around it.

 

[Mesoian]

skulls of the shogon on andriod? Yes please!

I own it on Steam already though.

They receive lots of money anyway. That's why it's a tip.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

How does Metal Slug play on a mobile? Virtual buttons?

I should probably ask this for all the games: which games are just dumb console/pc ports with virtual buttons? I don't want any of that stuff but I'll take any games that are made for a phone or tablet.

I normally give 100% to charity

 

[finley83]

DRM free Metal Slog 3 is definitely worth the asking price. Also Skulls of the Shogun seemed really charming when I played it on iPad.

 

[gngf123]

Just thought it was worth noting: If you are interested in DRM Free Metal Slug, you will need to wait for a few days. They haven't uploaded it yet.

Virtual buttons, its not worth it on Android (did not play it on PC so can't tell) IMO (got it in the mobile bundle)

 

[oti]

I don't own an Android phone, bought the bundle anyway for Metal Slug and Skulls.

 

[chrominance]

What is this new Humble Bundle? What have they done with the Humble Bundle we all knew and hated?

 

[eot]

Does fieldrunners have microtransactions?

 

[bigkrev]

Does fieldrunners have microtransactions?

Don't quote me on this, but IIRC, Humble makes teams remove Microtransactions- I know Kingdom Rush, when part of Humble, had them stripped out and made achievable in-game

EDIT: Actually, the games, being .apk files, aren't connected to any store, so microtransactions aren't possible in them

 

[PhoenixFyre]

First time in a long time I'm torn on a Humble Bundle. Recently I've been able to ignore them comfortably, but I really do love Metal Slug. I'll probably grab it, but don't know if I want to wait and risk it becoming more expensive later.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

If I wasn't already swimming in wonderful games I would buy this, it's a good bundle.

 

[Elixist]

yay there back to normal, some good stuff in there too, but i've played most of the ones that i would care about. I'll prob still grab this on the principle of this being a great deal.

 

[Leonsito]

Nice, I love the Android bundles.

 

[KojiKnight]

I hope this taught the humble bundle people something.... Never try anything new because people will hate you for it. Change is scary and different.

Spoiler

I'm being sarcastic, those deals each day were terrible.

 

[mattiewheels]

Yeah pretty petty, since it sounds like you think they owe you something.

The Worms deal wasn't bad.

 

[Xeroblade]

Any thoughts on Symphony? Sounds excellent.

If you love your music and super flashy effects, you should like this too. I think its just as fun as Beat Hazard. Here is a video of me playing it.

http://youtu.be/igQHofy-hqw

It pretty much is the same thing over and over but you can unlock different parts and abilities for your ship.

 

[KojiKnight]

The Worms deal wasn't bad.

The mid tier was Worms Armageddon... I game I was playing in 2000... it wasn't very good either.

 

[Madrugador]

Bought it for Metal Slug. Thanks.

 

[Haunted]

Definitely worth it for Symphony, Metal Slug and Skulls of the Shogun at that price.

Looks like they saw the feedback over the last two weeks.

Any thoughts on Symphony? Sounds excellent.

It's good.

 

[Pikawil]

The mid tier was Worms Armageddon... [...] it wasn't very good either.

I'm sure all the hardcore Worms fans share your opinion that Armageddon was far from being the best of the series!

 

[5amshift]

Definitely BTA on this one. Metal Slug 3 oh god.

 

[toxicgonzo]

Is anyone else having problems with Metal Slug controls?

The "A" button is huge on screen but I can really only tap on the far right side of it to shoot and many times I miss its precise area.

I'd consider getting an android controller to play this.

 

[mclem]

Metal Slug 3 is one of the very best videogames ever made. It's well worth the cost of this bundle.

How are the touch controls? Of course, it's on Steam as well, but the portability would be nice if it's playable.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Mmmmmhhh.....Skulls keeps crashing for me during the opening movie. Anybody else with that problem?

 

[one_kill]

Gonna get it for Fieldrunners 2

 

[toxicgonzo]

Mmmmmhhh.....Skulls keeps crashing for me during the opening movie. Anybody else with that problem?

My problem is I don't actually see the start new campaign button.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Really good bundle, especially for those who missed the Mobile Bundle that included Metal Slug 3 (And if you did get that one, then it's also nice to finally have the Steam version too).

 

[gblues]

Is it petty that I did an even 50/50 split between charity and developers and put nothing towards the humble tip? I don't actually care because the last two weeks were embarrassing.

I did the same as a (perhaps vain) message that the two weeks of shit was a bad idea and they should feel bad. (OK, it wasn't all shit, but the only things that weren't shit were the retreads like Deep Silver--which I bought)

So, no. Not petty.

 

[thedarknight87]

Just a heads up to those who don't know it Fieldrunners 2 has micro-transactions. Wanted to point this out since the first game did not.

Mmmmmhhh.....Skulls keeps crashing for me during the opening movie. Anybody else with that problem?

It does the same thing for me. I have a Samsung S4 active, which is no slouch hardware wise. I am guessing there will be an update to sort this issue.

Just tried running it on my tablet (Tegra 3, 1GB RAM). Skulls runs fine on it, kinda surprising since hardware wise the tablet is weaker than my S4 active phone.

 

[Thatoneguy64]

My problem is I don't actually see the start new campaign button.

Yeah, I'm having this issue as well. The option just doesn't exist for me on my Nexus 5. Bit of a bummer.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Three games added to the BTA:
Fieldrunners
Ittle Dew
Frozen Synapse

 

[bigkrev]

Ittle Dew is an awesome game, everyone should play it

 

[georly]

Been meaning to try out ittle dew. Good to see it on here.

Anyone know how it plays on android?
