I'm certain of it. Back when indie/shareware software bundles were all the rage over on the Mac a few years back, a couple of unsavoury individuals capitalized on past bundle successes and essentially scammed customers by taking their money and not actually delivering the registration codes for the apps they promised. With so many cross-platform indie game bundles popping up now, I think it'll be a good idea to do a little looking into who's behind a bundle, and if they can be trusted.

Did they not have a "buy early and you don't need to beat the average" thing going on?

I'm as adamant about DRM-free as the next guy, my price threshold for anything that isn't DRM-free is very, very low, but you could do a heck of a lot worse for $2. Zombie Shooter 1 + 2, the Hacker Evolution games, and Saira are easily worth much more than that minimum price each, and the music... well, at least that's DRM-free. So is Vizati, for that matter. I forgot they just added that. I'd been wanting it from GamersGate, but now I have it. Not amazing, but pretty nice. I can't vouch for "Your Doodles Are Bugged!" and "inMomentum", as I haven't played them yet, but they look decent enough.

It's a matter of taste, I suppose. I didn't care for Reptilians much. Robot Science has some pretty nice stuff, though. You can sample some of the music on the main page, after all.


Look, it's $2+. Just pay the minimum and "pay what you want" if you like it. Or don't. Or pay what you think it's worth when the next Indie Gala inevitably comes around. You miss out on it, and you'll be kicking yourself over it. Good stuff here, you'll be happy with it. Some nice variety, you'll probably enjoy something here, be it a game or some music. Maybe you have a backlog. Don't we all?

Seriously. Just fucking get it. If it's this close to the last day and you're still on the fence, the answer is obvious. Pay the $2 so you can stop mulling over it, get a little peace of mind, relax to some cool music, and blow up a few hundred zombies or something. If you regret the decision (and you won't), I'll reimburse you that $2 in full. Okay?

This bundle is almost as great as HiB4.

Saira was fantastic with its clever puzzles and atmospheric music. And Saira is like a ninja.
The Hacker games look intimidating, but are actually really fun after getting through a few levels.
InMomentum is a little too difficult for me to enjoy... I'm terrible at first-person platforming.
Have yet to play the Zombie Shooter games and Your Doodles Are Bugged.
The five bonus CD's are great.
Vizati is a solid puzzle game with no DRM.

Hot dang, I feel spoiled. All of the indie bundles should come with this much content. I hope they release another bundle right when this is over. :D

Ok ok guys i caved in and bought it lol...Thanks for the info :)

GJ, you probably won't regret it. The twitter guy's a little frustrating at times ("wait a few hours for a surprise!" = wait 24+ hours; "wait till today or tomorrow!" = 2-3 days) but no doubt the bundle is a very very generous one, and may never ever come again with this much value at this kind of price. In fact, it's the only bundle I've bought more than 2 sets of. God, I hate inMomentum, though. It sucks so bad, I want to vomit.

Thank you very much sir.

I got it too, its one the best bundles ive ever seen, along with the first and the last HIB and the first indie royale. They seem to have fixed all the issues they had in the beggining. I bought it and received my keys instantly, no waiting.

Nice. Saira can work DRM free if you get the CD key from Steam library and apply it to the demo from the developer's page.

The new Indie Royale is out:

Nuclear Dawn
Max & The Magic Marker
Fractal
Super Crossfire

New Indiegala coming. Taken from twitter:

"To date, five magnificent and solid games are confirmed for next @indiegala, as well as six new music albums that will amaze you."
"All the games will be redeemable on Steam. All the music albums will be available in both mp3 320 and FLAC formats."
"None of these @indiegala games or music albums has participated in previous promotions"

So - 5 indie games on steam which have not been part in other promotions...

Now to figure out which games will be included.

Bring it on, bundles are where it's at for new games these days in my opinion.

Gotta love these bundles . . . =)
