Got it for DustForce, Shatter PC (double-dip with the PS3 version!), and the soundtracks.

Go DustForce, into my massive backlog you goooo~~

BTW, a PSA.

The Shatter Soundtrack is absolutely incredible. Amazing electronic music (some guitars in there too). Its one of my favorite EDM albums.

I had a feeling that it was a mistake to buy Rochard when it was a daily deal this weekend. Too bad, now I already own everything but Dustforce, not paying 5,xx for that alone.

Public Service announcement:

If everyone bought one $1 bundle and gave it to someone who doesn't have the games, we'd all have the games.

Bought.

I already had Shatter, but it was a PS3 version (and maybe.. PC too? I forget.)

Didn't have it on Linux (of course, none of these games were available for Linux until today.)
 
Well, I'm sitting this one out. Maybe I will consider it if the other beat the average game is any good. I own all but Vessel and Dustforce and I really just want Dustforce (didn't really care for the vessel demo). In that case $5.19 is too much for me to spend on just Dustforce when it will eventually be $2.50 some day on steam.

For everybody else though, this is an awesome bundle. Rochard was surprisingly well done and Shatter is addictive with amazing music.
 
Well I will throw my $5 towards this like I do every bundle. Bunch of games that will pad my steam account but likely won't be played for months.

Have any iPhone games ever been part of a bundle? They have done a few android ones but what about iOS?
 
When these come up it's worth just reminding myself how crazy they are as deals. So let's imagine that you pay $10 for each Humble Bundle. Noting that it's totally possible to pay about half that and still get all of the bonus games.

Over the last two years you would have paid $60, the price of one single console game (or 60 copies of 3D Cartoon Land: Safari) day one for the following titles:

World of Goo
Aquaria
Gish
Penumbra: Overture
Lugaru HD
Briad
Cortex Command
Machinarium
Osmos
Revenge of the Titans
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Cogs
VVVVVV
Hammerfight
And Yet It Moves
Steel Storm
Atom Zombie Smasher
Jamestown
Bit.Trip Runner
Super Meat Boy
Shank
NightSky
Cave Story+
Gratuitous Space Battles
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Limbo
Psychonauts
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
Bastion
Lone Survivor
Torchlight
Rochard
Shatter
S.P.A.Z.
Vessel
Dustforce

That's just totally bonkers. I've managed to play a solid number of them, especially since they are often quicker indie titles. But I could easily, easily fill up 100% of my gaming time with pretty much just Humble Indie Bundle games.

Buy it for at least one dollar then. There could be bonii.

And the quality of the games you play would be increased indeed.

Seconded. The soundtrack stands on its own and gets played amongst my normal electronic music, as opposed to other great OSTs that are more obviously video game music.
 
Yeah, I started at HIB 4 and was fortunate that they included 3 as the extra.

I started @ HIB 3 and got 2, so I am only missing 1 ... kicking myself HARD for not getting it, but I think it was probably one of the weakest packages looking back on it.

Well, it's the cheapest it's ever been, isn't it?

It is, I'm just not that interested. This plus one of the other games would have been another story.

Don't judge Vessel by the demo, they've put out large updates that made the controls more responsive and changed a few other things. It's a great puzzle j'n'r with an incredible soundtrack. I guess not a lot of people buying this HIB will play it but they're missing something good.

I think I have all the bundles. At least the main numbered ones. I've played almost none of them lol. I really need to find time to test them all out. I did play sword and sworcery to completion though. :/

Unlike the other indie bundles you can find out there, several of the games in these bundles are serious game-of-generation candidates, not to be missed.

Like Bit.Trip Runner, Braid, World of Goo, Super Meat Boy, and Dustforce.


These aren't just random PC relics thrown up there for the sake of it.

I have got all of them. And the first one was a good one because of Aquaria.

  • World of Goo
  • Aquaria
  • Gish
  • Penumbra: Overture
  • Lugaru HD
  • Samorost 2

In for one.

Did they ever fix Torchlight for Mac? I remember my girlfriend tried playing it and it was pretty much unplayable at the time.

Sorry to beg, but that would be the place I guess... If anyone has a spare copy of the old Frozen Synapse bundle, I'd appreciate it a lot - it's the only one I miss in my collection. :(

And on topic - I have Torchlight and Dustforce, but I just can't stop buying those bundles... Also heard Shatter is awesome.

If you beat the average now, and they add games later, do you get those for beating the average at time of purchase or the average when the extra games get added?

I'm a student/unemployed right now, which is why I'm asking. I know the whole charity aspect which I hope to contribute to once I get a job again. Thanks!

You will get anything they add later.
