Except for Stellaris, I haven't redeemed any of my keys. Does anyone still have a key for Undertale they would like to swap for something in this current bundle? Msg me.

Anyone selling Stellaris?
I have an extra Superhot if you have anything somewhat comparable to trade. Just PM me so as not to muddle up this thread. 
More on-topic, kind of eh on this bundle overall after being really happy with many of their past ones... nothing that really got me excited, but hey, for $12, tough to complain. Went ahead and picked up next month's though since I've been looking for an excuse to buy SOTFS on PC. Might as well and get the extra games in a month.

Looking at that at the App Store there's a ton of IAPs that probably add up to, or even exceed, the cost on Steam. So I ASSUME we're getting a full game here, kinda like how PAC Man 256 is an ad free version.

Even moreso, the developer is very active on new features for PC, including full Steam Workshop modding support
Yeah I have both version and it definitely didn't cost 99c to get all the content on the Android verison of the game. Maybe not $15 though. Saying that I don't think I paid $15 for it on Steam either. I bought it years ago and I'm fairly sure it was cheaper until the Planet of the Apes and other future content came out. Good game, definitely got value out of it on both platforms.
Tiny Echoes is the first Humble Original I've whole heartily enjoyed since Gunmetal Arcadia. Really, really cool. Pleasant surprise after how unbelievably buggy A2Be was last month. Edit: a patch for A2Be that should fix the locks/crashes/etc came out earlier this week apparently. Guess I'll give it another try.
Shoot, I forgot this released today and Humble never responded to my request about wanting to skip this month. Oh well, it's only $12. I'll give Super Hot a shot and maybe check out the trading thread. There's enough good bundles recently I can't be upset. Just disappointed. I guess all bundles can't all be designed around games I want to play
Shoppe Keep sounded interesting. Shame it seems it was abandoned.
Seriously, why hasn't Recettear been copied a hundred times over? Succesful indie game, concept that hasn't been used a lot before... you'd think we'd get a few good imitations by now. Unless they exist and I haven't seen them? If so, please recommend. Specifically talking about the shop aspect of the game here.

I have a budget of $32AUD per month or approximately $23USD to spend on games/movies/books/Netflix so I have to pick and choose carefully where my limited dollars go.
In terms of sheer value, I doubt you'll get as much anywhere else as you do with Humble Monthly. Granted you may prefer to buy one single title, but for someone who is coming up short on games, this is by far the best choice.
Steam sale should be rolling through this month, so they'll probably still get their money's worth.

Plague Inc. Evolved is fun but pretty shallow, probably gonna be bored once I run through all of the plagues one or two times. I played Pandemic back in the day so it's neat to see it become bigger but yeah.
SUPERHOT is fantastic but I hate the sound it makes when a mission loads, completely unnecessary and really grating. Was worried about it running poorly on my laptop but I've got it at 1080p with everything on or set to medium and it runs great.

Plague Inc would probably be more interesting if you could get more dynamic feedback from your choices of evolution and if there was more than one way to win akin to Civilization, IE infecting everyone or just being impossible to fully cure.
It IS fun though, but yeah it won't have truly great replay value.

How do you access the games? I'm on the phone so I might be missing something. Tried to find Strike Suit Zero but it's not in my library or anywhere else I could see.

If you're an active subscriber, the download links are on the Trove page. This is probably something they'll revoke the instant you cancel your sub, like the 10% store discount.

Directly from that page. Click the game and there should be a big green download button on the right.
Okay, thanks. Not workng on my phone, will try it on the desktop later.

Awesome, more people can experience Keyboard Sports now.
Probably why it'll remain the domain of Humble Originals and probably some games that the devs/publishers WANT to give away with only a minimal barrier. The former were not going to be sold normally anyway, and the latter is an act of generosity.
Some of the older games on there have been incredibly cheap and have sequels too. Shelter was just on sale last week for 99 cents on Steam. If it didn't get people there, they may as well give it away to let people try it out and get interested in newer games by the dev.

No. Moreover, the large majority of games have never been in a Humble bundle before they appear in a Monthly bundle.
Caveat #1: very few games have been bundled elsewhere (not Humble, something like IndieGala), which I have not listed.
Caveat #2: a recent trend seems to be for the games to appear on chrono.gg first, but it is not the same as being included in a bundle.

Does anyone else have trouble downloading anything from the Trove? I tried but I can only download Starseed Pilgrim, which is already on my Humble account (which is probably why I can download it).
I bought a month of Monthly, shouldn't I be able to download the Trove games? Specifically looking at Dustforce DX.
If it matters, I'd bought one month's Monthly (for DSII) and gifted it to myself.

Assessing the odds of Stephen's Sausage Roll (SSR) to appear in the next monthly bundle was the actual reason for my little data pooling. Given that SSR was tier 3 in a humble bundle mid-May this year, I would not expect to see this game appear in a monthly bundle before November/December. So, I guess the best value to pay for this game to finish it before the Winter sales should be right now during the Summer sales.

I thought it was the first Friday of every month?
it is... it always is.
just happens to be as late as it possibly could be now, but it's not like they did it to avoid the steam sale.

Yeah, and that's next week.

Especially with the refund system of Steam.
- Buy a game on Steam less than 2 weeks before the Humble Monthly happens,
- Play this game for no more than 2 hours in the meantime,
- If the game is part of the Monthly, refund. Otherwise, keep it.
No it is always a week after the final friday of the month.
Facism,
The keys are not tied to your account.

Humble shows you each key to use or distribute as you wish (unless they have multiple games tied to one key, but that hasn't happened for the Monthly bundles).

Here's to hoping the bundle includes something you want!
Good to know. Thanks.
