    Machinarium is one of the best puzzle games I know!

    Edit: Pay more than the average of $4.84, and you'll receive all of the games in Humble Indie Bundle #2 as well!

    That is the condition... if you ain't bought it yet...

    to get the bundle #2: you have to return to the page where you got your Steam activation key, and another key is now available to activate the Humble Bundle #2

    I kept hitting myself for missing out on Revenge of the Titans and wanted to look into cogs....needless to say after I got the email, I got a copy for everyone in the family ($ for Child's Play, ftw).

    Can't beat $5 and helping out charity (or an indie dev or both). Everyone should own these.

    Lol, when I went to the humble bundle website, it said you had to pay more than the average of $5.12 to receive the second bundle. I was about to cry because I never got the second bundle for some reason and I had paid exactly $5.11 for the third bundle, haha. Then I read you get it if you bought it early. So everything is ok. :)

    A guy named nifflas makes some pretty awesome (free) indie games, yes hence my username.

    Both 'knytt stories' and 'within a deep forest' are really interesting, the first has better visuals and music, the second has more interesting gameplay.

    I actually downloaded a demo of one of his more recent games which isn't free, and I have to say it isn't really as good. More focused on physics and gameplay I guess but just not very together.

    Some months. Last year where the versions 1 and 2 (first semester and december, respectively). This year in March they had the Frozen edition (dedicated to a single company) and now #3. Expect at least #4 by the end of the year.

    I'm hoping they bring back the "Frozen" Humble Bundle. Really kicking myself for missing that.

    Zombie Atom Smasher is probably one of the most fun games (imo) of the HIB 3 pack.

    It's great that they're adding games, but it makes me think it's best to wait until the sale is just about over to buy. I hope they don't take away games as they get closer to finishing...

    I don't think they'll do that. The only cons to wait is that the average to get the HIB#2 will be higher. But no matter the amount you donate, it's still worth EVERY penny. ALL the games are FANTASTIC, and the cause is GREAT. No matter where you decide your money is going, they deserve it.

    Yes, but it's not perfect.

    I spent my last long campaign clearing out level 4 zones all the time and I basically won by having more bases.

    Broke down and bought it. I feel bad not paying full price for all of them. However, I'm now poor since I'm getting a new laptop and I wanted to donate something to their cause.

    Humble Bundle is almost at the $2 million mark. I really do hope they hit it, as it will encourage more developers to jump into the Humble Bundle packs.

    My dad doesn't let me buy games a lot, but the pack was a deal to him so I was able to get it. I am currently in love with VVVVVV. So challenging and makes me ragefilled but so fun. When I'm older, i'm definitely going to get this again :) Devs and charities all deserve my money!
