New Humble Bundle. Games are for Android, Windows, OSX, and Linux. Soundtracks are included.

Pay what you want for:

  • EDGE
  • Osmos
  • Anomaly: Warzone Earth
  • Toki Tori - added 2/9

Pay more than the average to unlock World of Goo.

Pay at least $1 and get Steam keys.

[quote name='Kaltic']Didn't they add something like source code or soundtracks to it though? While it may not have been a new game I am almost positive they added something.[/QUOTE]

After checking the wikipedea page for Humble Bundle, it appears that you are correct. Here's a relevant quote from the Frozenbyte section:

"By April 22, 2011, the Bundle had surpassed $700,000, at which point Frozenbyte added the source code for both Shadowgrounds games, a level editor for Trine, Mac OS and Linux versions of Jack Claw (in addition to the Windows version), and a demo for Splot."

So I guess it technically did get a bonus. Though most of us probably think of an additional game or a soundtrack when we think of bonuses. So I'm not sure how many of us consider those additions to be bonuses. It is by the letter of the law, but perhaps not by the spirit of the law.

You've got a good memory though (or perhaps you're just more observant than I) because I certainly didn't remember that.

Source code interests me since I am a programmer so it wasn't hard to remember, though I will agree most won't consider it a bonus. But then again even I was wondering if they were going to add anything in addition to what was already there. So I would classify what they have done in the past as additions rather than bonuses. Mainly because even soundtracks that don't interest me I wouldn't necessarily consider a bonus, but would an addition.
 
[quote name='Drabelincoln']Bonus, addition. Whatever. No EXTRAS[/QUOTE]

What about new incentives which were not originally there from the start?
 
[quote name='louiedog']Toki Tori has been added.

I think someone predicted that back on day one. Oh wait, it was me. ;)[/QUOTE]

Sweet, been wanting to try this one out during the winter sale.
 
[quote name='louiedog']There is also a new Android app that you can help alpha test. It's used to manage your HIB games on the platform.[/QUOTE]

Yep. I've been using it for a couple of days now and it works really well. No more going to Twitter or the download page to scour game versions and make sure I have the latest, it lets me know now if there's an update and Toki Tori automatically showed up available for download as well.

That's cool. I'll have to give it a try on my kindle when I get home from work.
 
[quote name='DeathByFRODO']do you need to pay more for the toki tori game? or is that only worlf of goo?[/QUOTE]

I believe just for World of Goo. On twitter they said Toki Tori is for all customers and made no mention of beating the average. Tthe website indicates the same thing.

Thanks. However, now i wonder if there will be future games added and have to beat the minimum.

The way that it's worked in the past is that if you buy the bundle you get all future bonuses no matter what. So if you pay $4 and the average is $5 you still get a future game even if new buyers have to pay over the average for it.

Alright, thanks for the info.
 
I was going to pass on this bundle since I already had Osmos and World of Goo, but, with Toki Tori and EDGE, I think I may end up throwing in a donation.
 
just donated over the minimum: $1.50. I don´t think world of goo is worth $5 bucks alone, so maybe if they added a few more AAA indie games as bonus then i would had donated more.

Well they World of Good Android app is $5 by itself so the way I look at it is for $5 I got it and several other games. However if someone is lukewarm about the games in this bundle and/or doesn't really want World of Goo for Android (I did) I can see not opting for the $5 since there is a big difference between the minimums with and without world of Goo.

As for more AAA indie games, I don't know that there are that many more for Android at this point. We've only just very recently started to get a halfway decent selection of games. I feel like the non-gaming app selection has caught up faster than gaming apps have. Hopefully we will see a lot more Android games, and indies in particular, this year.
