Humble Bundle #3

http://www.humblebundle.com/

Cogs, Crayon Physics Deluxe, VVVVV, And yet it Moves and Hammertime.

I already own all of those games so no bundle for me. But what I can do is say this: Each and every one of those games are unique and quite fun to play for different people. VVVVV covers the hardcore platforming in a unique matter, And Yet It Moves covers a different side of platforming, Hammerfight... I don't know. Crayon physics is a fun puzzler similar in concept to things like linerider and sodaplay.com . And cogs is another interesting puzzler. Long story short get this pack.

BTW this is the fourth bundle. Have they ignored the frozenbyte bundle?

I own none of them, so it's good for me this time. :P

I'll definitely be getting this pack. I loved Trine from the Frozenbyte bundle, and I intend on paying the same price for this one.

Wow, only 1 cent?

I thought I was using too many excuses to justify just giving a Dollar or €0.79c. (I didn't really enjoy the Frozenbyte Bundle and I gave it too much money in excitement, mainly, and I'm really poor and have bought....a few things I bought online which I quite regret. Also one of the games in that bundle STILL hasn't come out yet.)

Give more.

If they're using Paypal to handle their purchases....no, that 1 cent will only go to one place: Paypal. Fees and whatnot. I may be wrong, however.

I already have VVVVVV, so I don't think I'll be getting this once since the other games don't seem to interest me too much. It's not that I don't want to support charity, I just don't particularly want the games. (That and I'm kinda low on money anyway so...)

Maybe they don't, I don't know. I just know that for some things they charge a fee that would make a 1 cent purchase cause them to actually lose money. May or may not apply for charities.

I thought paypal didn't "collect" from charities?

Eh, I'm low on cash, I'm a teenager, and my folks aren't huge on charity. I honestly feel guilt in paying so low.

Proud to support it again. Pitched in five dollars for this and may get a couple copies of the bundle to gift.

Huh, apparently VVVVVV also got upgraded with the release of the bundle, with a rewrite to C++, a level editor, and some fancy new level sets (including one made by Notch). That should add a lot of replay value to the game.

Now to wait for Steam to update their version of the game...

VVVVV and And Yet It Moves?! Sold!

5 Bucks, but I was mostly interested in hammerfight. Now if I could just find a comfortable mouse setting...

Personally, I think the lack of DRM is the biggest selling point- Sure I used steam cuz Im lazy, but theres nothing to stop me from putting them on my sisters mac or my friends desktop if I want. You're not just getting the games, you're getting unlimited copies of them!

I must also say it's a grand economic model when someone says "pay what you like" and some people say, "here's 100 bucks for the developers" or "here's 4000 for charity." If only I were a richer man...

Hmm. I don't see my currently installed Steam copy of VVVVVV updating. I guess all those goodies are exclusive to the bundle.

Problem is, I don't really see anything interesting about the other games... I don't really want Crayon Physics because I'm not ten years old, but the other points of contention have demos so I'm gonna check them out at least.

Hammerfight is a fun physics based game, but the controls are a little difficult to use. I suggest on the mouse sensitivity test moving your mouse slower than the fastest speed. This'll make the ship much easier to control. It'll still be hard and take some learning, though.

Dammit, it's not accepting my credit card (it works on Steam just fine).

I paid about $9 for this, most of it going charity-wards. It's the first one I've got, and I think I'll be back if they do any more. I was actually a little surprised that the average was so high, I thought more people would spend only a few pence. Also thanks for the Hammerfight tip, it's too bad I'd already uninstalled it to teach it not to be so fiddly.

Notch is at it again.

I love how regularly Windows people pay so little and Linux people pay SO MUCH.

The Humble Bundle bonuses seem to have been updated onto the Steam copies at this point. At the moment, I am playing Notch's level.

Really? *Reinstalls VVVVVV

Wow, up to more than half a million already.

Hm, I'm thinking of dropping ten dollars on this for Cogs.

An added bonus for those who get the bundle:

Minecraft can be played for free until August 14, so for those who don't have it yet, now is your opportunity to give it a trial run.

A cent well spent.

This gives me an excuse to finally play VVVVV!

VVVVVV is so good that I'm getting this bundle just so I can buy it a second time. Yes, really.

I'd buy this is VVVVVV was the only game in it, but the other games look pretty awesome too.

I've been buying these ever since the first one and I have no intention of stopping here, especially since it seems like they get better every time.
