Hypersonic 4 is appallingly bad - a prime example of how much of the bargain basement shit has simply relocated and is labelling itself "indie".

Steam Heroes seems to have put more effort into the cover art, trying to bizarrely portray a simple gem game as some kind of doujin title.

Ampu-Tea looks quite funny, even if it is probably only fun for about five minutes.

Shadows on the Vatican - well, I'm cautious about buying anything that has "Episode 1" or "Act 1" in the title and doesn't already have the next episodes finished.

Best one in that bundle is International Snooker, which really is a good game with decent production values, but as I already have it, there little point in buying it again.

IAmSinistar: Looks a bit anemic. Any games folks would recommend at this price if you had none of them already?

Thanks, that does look like the one stand-out title. Does it hold up on its own? I've read other posts about whether the series will be completed, or even if the second episode will make it to the English-speaking world.

I'd probably pad the purchase with Bloop, as it's the only other one that even remotely interests me. Though I'm somewhat bored with games that are essentially tech demos. Those too often feel like all the passion went into simulating the physics and very little into the desire to make a good game.

I would say it's quite decent.

spoderman: He's talking about the last KISS bundle, which J.U.L.I.A. was included in. The J.U.L.I.A. devs never received payment from their publisher, and whenever the publisher merged with KISS, they included the game in the bundle without permission. At least.. that's how I see it, someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

It's similar to what happened with the Capsule Computers bundle. The dev that made Transcripted never received payment from Topware, and never agreed for the game to be included in the bundle.

I have to agree, Groupees has made some shady connections with publishers.
that is really rotten!
New games added - Train Simulator 2013, RADical ROACH and Grimind
Can someone give feedback to Groupee how bad this bundle is?

I'd like to see them change that cheesy 'Make Gr8 Happen' slogan to 'Make Crap Happen' for the sake of accuracy
There is currently a 1 game minimum.

Next bonus is the Hypersonic 4 soundtrack, unlocked at 2000 bundles sold.
When I looked at the bundle page half an hour ago, the number of the "bundles sold" was 902. Now the number is almost 1500! It seems like "1 game minimum" & the newly added game "Train Simulator 2013" helped the sales a lot.

Yep. :D

Or ... everyone is clamoring for the Hypersonic soundtrack!

(well ... I suppose Accatone's theory sounds more convincing ...)
2nd bonus unlocked
3rd @ 3000 - Super Killer Hornet

edit: and 3rd bonus unlocked as well.

What does fmd mean?

I only played Train Simulator for a couple hours (got it from a previous Steam sale), but I am looking forward to playing it more. It is my first time playing a train simulator (I am not into sims, and never played a flight sim either) and I found the experience captivating and oddly soothing. It reminded me of the old days, when I first played Baldur's Gate 2 after being out of gaming for several years: that feeling of playing something completely new.

Anyway, I started the game a few days ago and couldn't find the tutorial. I think they removed it. (It was a very basic tutorial, it just showed the controls, but why would they remove it?)

What do you think it is so strange that somebody likes this game?
Wow almost 6k now. What a little train can do...

Edit: bundle will end early because groupees only got 10k Trains keys and dev is not willing to give more.
