Title: The Humble Indie Bundle

The Humble Indie Bundle is a unique kind of bundle that we are trying out.

Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $80 but we're letting you set the price!

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We didn't want to leave anyone out.

There is no middle-man. You can rest assured that 100% of your purchase goes directly to the developers and non-profits as you specify (minus credit card fees).

We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely.

Your contribution supports the amazing Child's Play charity and Electronic Frontier Foundation. By default, the amount is split equally between the seven participants (including Child's Play and EFF), but you can tweak the split any way you'd like.

Pretty sweet deal really, I gave what translates to about £10...been meaning to play these games for awhile too ^^ Whoever said video game nerds were anti-social recluses may have been right, but it's nice to know we aren't above charity ;D

I've already got world of goo, bah :P. However one of my friends wants it, and I want gish, I played a demo ages ago and really enjoyed it. I'll get it :D
Probably pay about $20-25 AU for it.

Neh, it should be given to an exceptional charity case. Namely, moi (aka me)  XD


Hmm, It seems that 1 dollar is the minimum. I tried to pay $0.5, but I got a begging guy wanting a dollar.  :P

I paid $2.50. Only played Lugaru so far and it's loads of fun.

Well I tried getting it for one dollar, but somehow I payed for it three times. So I paid three dollars apparently. Might seem like an idiotic question, but how do I download now that I've paid for it (multiple times)

You should have been redirected back from Paypal, but with a key in the URL that shows the downloads....

I did it through Amazon, not Paypal. It just said "success" in a little window that went away. Don't recall seeing and URL for downloads D:

Just contact them and tell em' what happened. They're going to have your payment records anyway for their taxes.

Yeah, just did that Mamo. Waiting for a response now. So my evening of planned Lugaru have been replaced with an evening of playing Banana Pancakes on my acoustic guitar. Not so bad :)

I heard it'd be pretty cool if they totally responded to me email explaining to them I bought their product and was not able to download them.

Post by: Mamoruanime on May 07, 2010, 02:21:45 am
It's not like the downloads are session based or anything <_<;; A little creativity and you can download them just fine.

Also, Thank you Bludleef for giftan' :D

:P I didn't mean that to sound mean, but they have the links pretty much out in the open with no security protection.

The thing is, he probably wouldn't have known that until he bought it :p

Tis true :P

In all honesty though; they'll probably give him the links anyway once they respond to the email.

Well I bought three, so if they actually give me download links for three copies of all of them I'll give you one. Unfortunately they did not give me download links and have not responded to my email requesting download links.

Dear Humble Bundle supporter,

I have a small announcement you might be interested in. This morning, I was talking to fellow indie studio Amanita Design. They wanted to donate to the Humble Indie Bundle too -- but in a unique way. They decided to donate their award-winning, cross-platform game, Samorost 2, to the bundle! It is really a great game, and I encourage you to go download it on your updated Humble Bundle key page.

Nice

Thanks everyone who sent me links to the downloads of those games. Three people sent me links, seems like a pretty nice coincidence since I paid for it three times :P

Lugaru is fun. I'm stuck on the first "To Alpha Wolf" level though. It was hard enough killing one wolf earlier, now they expect me to take on three. :-\

Penumbra is a pretty good survival horror game too...kinda reminds me of Call of Cthulhu...

Ask your parents to spot you $1 with their credit or bank cards. I'm sure they'd be okay with it.

I'm still working on finding a set method. Swords will kill them in like three hits, but they like to reverse, and if your counter-reverse fails then you're pretty screwed. After you get them down a bit then leg cannons tend to hit more often, so try that to.
Title: Re: The Humble Indie Bundle
Post by: Breedlove on May 12, 2010, 02:12:01 am
Yeah I noticed the sword seemed to take one down pretty quick in a challenge level. But in the one that I'm on it's just my fists and my knife (which I've deemed useless against wolves).

My best attempt at taking down all three of them in this level was when I just did a lot of reverses on one of them after leading him away from the other two, and then used one leg cannon to finish him off. Hard to find any walkthrough or strategies about it on the internet too which is frustrating.

Try throwing the knife once you get them weak. It's extremely deadly. They also rarely dodge leg sweeps, which don't do much damage but hey, it's a distraction.

Lugaru is pretty neat, but it feels really clunky almost to a point that it's unplayable for me :p Then again though, I use my laptop with no mouse...

Also I seem to have broken Lugaru when I was goofing off :P I died, and it constantly rendered the scene from when I died as well as the new game started. It was kind of bizarre D:

Yeah it's a big glitchy at times, but what should you expect from a no-budget indie game? I too am using my laptop and have mastered the art of Lugaru combat with a track pad. (http://www.zfgc.com/forum/Smileys/takam/cool.gif)

The sequel looks a lot better quality, something to look forward to at least. And I finished off the three wolves using a lot of reversals and finishing them off with a leg cannon. Worked out pretty well once you master the reversals.
