Pay however much you want and get a whole mess of indie PC games! (http://www.wolfire.com/humble) DRM-free, to be downloaded whenever you like. I've played Penumbra and it is pretty ace (donating also gives you a coupon that lets you get the whole Penumbra series for $5), and I hear good things about World of Goo.
-
I'm SO going to buy this - I've been thinking about getting World of Goo for a while already - the demo on Steam was a bunch of fun. I'll just have to find my wallet again first - I think I left it in some costume pants instead of my real pants yesterday.
I know World of Goo is a puzzler, but what kind of games are the others?
-
I've played World of Goo and it's brilliant. It has a simple concept behind the puzzles but the humor and creativity is what really drives the game. I also played Gish one time, it's a platformer where you play a ball of tar. To get through the levels, most being caves, you can stick to walls and ceilings, solidify to crush through obstacles, and liquify to fit through narrow spaces. It's very physics-heavy, and by that I mean that you're mostly a slave to the laws of gravity, momentum, inertia, and other physical forces acting on a ball of tar. This sometimes makes you very hard to control. I personally wasn't very impressed, but then again, I barely ever play platformers.
-
World of Goo is awesome, Gish is quite fun, haven't downloaded the others yet.
-
me and one of my roommates both donated for the bundle.
Gish is fun, but i feel the jumping is too ineffective w/o momentum.
Lugaru is a lot of fun, even tho it was the one I was the least excited for. You are humanized rabbit and you go around fighting other rabbits and wolves. The controls are simple and the system for fighting is fun.
Penumbra has caused my roommate to suddenly shriek in terror a few times--I've not yet played it.
World of Goo is just plain awesome, altho very difficult at times--I got it for wii way back when.
Aquaria (or whatever it's name is) is fun and simple--my roommate's played it more than me and he likes it a lot.
The extra game they just added, Samorost, is just a point and click flash puzzle/logic game. I find it quite difficult at times.
-
Is it a bigger Samorost than the old flash game? Because that thing has been around forever and ever. Good game, though.
-
Time is running out on this thing! Does anybody know if I pay now before the time on this offer runs out if I will still be able to download them after? I'm at work literally all day (9:30am-midnight) and I dunno when I'll get the chance to actually get on my home computer.
-
You donate, you get the games for perpetuity.
-
Aquaria is awesome. I didn't sleep one night due to being busy playing it. :)

I don't know. I hadn't heard about it until they added it to the bundle suddenly (if you donated before they added it, you can still download this game, btw). It's rather short, though, so maybe it is the same as the old one.
Googling around showed me that there was a sequel, I'm not sure fully if this is the 1st or the 2nd

"Now with an extra Samorost 2 bonus humbly donated by Amanita Design"
It looks like this deal has been extended.
-
Oh man I really want to get this, but I don't have a way to set up my paypal account.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by that Jace. Do you not have a bank account?
-
Some Paypal-able sites only take a credit card transaction. If you don't have a card linked to your Paypal account, it won't work.
-
I thought I'd missed this, but I made it with 3 hours to go.
How much did you guys pay? I can see that the average is 9,12 USD, I paid 10 (justifying the low price with "holy shitfuck I'm poor"). The offer has made 1,1 million dollars, totalling 145 thousand to each developer, 165 thousand to child's play and 160 thousand to EFF. That's pretty great.

I don't have the full routing & account number which I need to set up my paypal account.
-
I don't think I'm going to finish Penumbra - I'm not good at being scared.

Lugaru got intensely difficult when they threw the first wolf at me. I beat him and then a few levels later threw 3 wolves at me. I bested them, but now I'm stuck on a level with 6 wolves. what the fuck.
(admittedly, these 6 wovles aren't hunters like the others and are easier to kill, but they still do a hell of a lot of damage, and i can't do it, and i've got finals i should be studying for anyway, but i don't want to study, and lugaru is fun.)
