I'm not familiar with any of the games but these things are always popular so be the first on your block to own it.

The last bundle included two betas and one game they outright said was unfinished and would never be finished so I wasn't too enticed. I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this one from any early adopters.

I picked it up. I've been happy with the other ones, so why not.

Already picked it up. I haven't heard of any of these games before, but since Notch went and paid two grand for it, I felt it was OK to be a bit on the cheap side. At least I sent all of my money to charity, as little as it was.

I spent a little time with each game and I'd say Cogs is the best of the bunch. It's a sort of steampunkish puzzle game that incorporates some 3d elements to the standard slide puzzle.

And Yet It Moves is platformer/puzzle game where the trick is that you can rotate the game screen around your character at anytime. This let's you basically manipulate gravity. Moderatly amusing.

Crayon Physics deluxe is a version of the drawing objects to solve puzzle with physics type. A flash version was fairly popular in the Asylum a couple years ago.

VVVVVVV is a pretty lame platformer with retro graphics and sound.

Hammerfight is a mouse based fighting game with odd looking flying machines with maces attached to them. The controls are a bit wonky, and it's the only game that I couldn't find a full screen option for. I didn't play it for very long.

It's worth tossing few dollars at for Cogs and Crayon Physics Deluxe, the rest aren't that great, but it's for a good cause so you might as well break out your wallet.

cool beans. I have to remember to add some funds to my pre-paid card so I can pick this one up to. Giving money to charity is awesome, getting games for it is even awesomer.

I thought that too, until I noticed it appears to be by Notch, the creator of Minecraft.

I'm pretty sure he has $2,000 to put towards indy games, considering that's his industry.

There is a full screen mode, you just have to go left instead of right at the main screen. I found this game to be difficult... though a lot of that is due to the cramped screen space in my opinion.

Going to have to agree that Cogs is the best game in the package, I've already wasted too many hours on it.

They've added another game (Steel Storm) and anyone who pays over the average (currently $5.21) gets all the Humble Bundle #2 games included as well. Of course, I just bought Mechanarium at Steam's 75% off price. That's how they getcha Smiley: mad

I played AZS for a couple hours on Friday. It's simple but very fun. And hard :(.

AZS kicked my ***. There's a bend in the skill curve there after about six or seven maps that ramps quickly out of the "novice" level.

Yup. It went from "this is really easy" to "I just can't beat this level :(".

It would be a lot more fun if I could choose the mercenaries in use. As it is, I'm stuck on a level with just barricades, Zed bait, and dynamite. I literally cannot complete it with this arrangement, so I'm forced to concede.

Yeah, that's just *** when that happens. Once you get into a hole, it's damn impossible to get out.

At least, in my experience. If some AZS master has tips, I'm all ears.

I just noticed that when you start a game, you get to pick a variety of rules, and one of them is "Chooser". That is, you get to pick your mercenaries.

That makes it a lot more fun. I now have a level 5 artillery unit who basically makes every map a complete faceroll.
