I guess we’ve moved past the concept of ‘bundle season’ – you can’t go a few weeks without someone bundling up a pile of indie (or less-than-indie) games, slapping a pay-what-you-want pseudo-pricetag on the lot and calling it a day. Still, can’t sniff at this lot, even if it’s not nearly as grandiose as previous Humble Bundle offerings. Here’s the official launch video:
As always, it’s a fully cross-platform bundle, so despite the ‘Android’ part of the title, everything in here will also run on your PC, whether it’s using Windows, Mac or Linux. It’s a good set of games, too. We’ve got super-popular Tower Defense game Fieldrunners, musical Breakout-esque game BIT.TRIP BEAT, award-winning, brain-crushing puzzle game Spacechem and Introversion’s ‘the future according to the 80s’ hacking simulator Uplink. All great games, although definitely an eclectic bunch. The over-the-average bonus game is Spirits, which I’ve honestly not heard much about, but it certainly looks lovely.
As is Humble Bundle standard, a chunk of the money goes to charity as well, at least by default. You’re free to decide how much of your money goes to the developers, the charities involved and the Humble Bundle organizers. As mentioned, this isn’t exactly a mindblowing bundle, but it’s a solid pack of games, and probably worth it just for Spacechem, which I will happily recommend to anyone with a functioning brain.
