You've probably all come across one of the previous Humble Bundles, but I just though I'd throw this out here: pay what you want for six games, and they all work on Windows, Mac and Linux (Well, I can't seem to get VVVVVV to run on my Ubuntu laptop, but it's probably something simple and I'm just too tired to spot it; but the rest work great!).

Since you can pay what you want it is impossible to get ripped off; you can even do what I did and pay $0.20, maybe upping it to a reasonable price if I like any of the games.

It's a shame these bundles have suffered such a decrease in quality. I don't think I'll even bother this time.

I already own most of them. Might grab it for a few titles though.

Hammerfight is Really fun once you get into it. (protip: lower the mouse DPI sensitivity to half the suggested value. Works wonders).
Haven't tried the rest yet. Still, for only a few dollars, it's hard not to give it a try.

(Also, it beats the fuck out of the Frostbyte bundle, which I didn't even touch).

EDIT: Paid 7$.

I'm all for giving to charity but I would rather contribute what little money I have to a cause I sympathize more with considering what's on offer here. The only game on there that I know anything about is VVVVVV which does not hold much interest for me. Previous years at least had stuff I was familiar with like World of Goo, Braid and Penumbra. Sure, you can just pay $0.01 but I would rather not be a douchebag. I doubt I'll play any of those titles either way, but I'll make a mental note to contribute a few bucks to a charity when I get the chance.

And to the 25% who pirate this shit: Fuck yourself. I wonder if that played a role in not being able to get any high profile indie games. Sure, there's Minecraft on there... sort of.

Another indie game promotion Xbox owners might like to check out; Indie Games Summer Uprising. I submitted my X360 game to the voting for that, but I had to pull it because development had slowed to a crawl.

Sad to hear your game won't be making the xbox event Starglider. IMHO if you ever make a Pc port your game could be a strong contender for something as high profile as humble indie bundle.

Unfortunately not, because (a) it's an XNA game and XNA doesn't work on MacOS or Linux and (b) it needs a dual-stick controller.
