Humble Bundle #4

[MarioRPG]

Seven epic games. We're ready to drop seven new cross-platform, DRM-free games down your digital chimney. Bandage your fingertips and prepare your mind for the challenges of Super Meat Boy, Shank, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, and NightSky. If you pay more than the average price, you'll also get two massive, well-loved indie favorites: Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles.
The average price is at ~ $5 right now, so it's under a dollar a game, and some of them are worth their weight in gold (Super Meat Boy is still amazing). Plus they donate to charity or something! Just go ahead and pick it up!

The Deal: You can pay whatever you want for some games that will waste hours of your life. From practically nothing to $10,000 (yes, I think there is an actual limit)

[Fathom Zero]

I already own three of those. :( And it doesn't give you extra giftable copies. Regardless, I bought it anyway, kept the key for Cave Story and GSB, and am going to give the other one to my brothers for Christmas.

[executioneer]

i might actually buy this one in addition to donating $25 to the HBB people. at least 4 of those games are/sound rad as shit

[Fathom Zero]

Shank is pretty fucking cool, in case anyone hasn't played it yet. Meat Boy is great. Runner is great. Cave Story is fucking Cave Story. Gratuitous Space Battles is the game that everyone should've played but didn't. Jamestown shares that honor, on top of it being the game of my dreams.

This is a HUGE bundle.

[Chojin]

i just did since you told me about it

[Aaarg]

i now understand the universal love for super meat boy, having been wary of it for so long.

hurt my thumbs!

jamestown seems pretty cool but hopefully i'll get better at it, i'm awful at shmups.

i was wary of nightsky too even though i loved knytt and i LOVE the graphics, but i don't like physics platformers. shit's fuuuuun, though.

shank seemed pretty fun for a beat em up, i'll have to play it some more to see if it was worth the 2 gb download!

bit trip i'm awful at

i paid less than average on account of i don't have a job

[MarioRPG]

I picked it up above the average because I really wanted Cave Story. I've had a chance to play through all but one of the games and I'm definitely pleased with my purchase. I also picked it up for a friend since it's Christmas time or something.
Super Meat Boy - Already owned but I still love it and hate it at the same time. I've been stuck on a certain world for like 2 months, but I haven't played it that much.
Shank - The one I haven't played because I download slow as hell. Thinking it won't run very well on this computer...
Jamestown - Is a cool shmup with a combo system, but I'm far too twitchy and poor of a player at this genre.
Bit.Trip Runner - Owned it for Wii and now I like that I can play it on my laptop because it's just so damn fun.
NightSky - Decent enough physics platformer. Reminds of Within a Deep Forest, actually.
Cave Story+ - Subtle improvements to the best freeware game ever? Don't mind if I do!
Gratuitous Space Battles - Strategy game that I will likely suck at, but cool premise.

They just added soundtracks for all of the games including lossless versions of Super Meat Boy and NightSky! :rock
I think Bit.Trip Runner's soundtrack is my favorite so far.

[MarioRPG]

They just added even more games. VVVVVV, Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, And Yet It Moves, and Hammerfight
I've played the first two and they are great in their own ways. Again, you have to pay above average for these ones to be included.
