The NZA Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 yeah, just got an email about this earlier - ive got all the games except crayon physics, but ive jumped on every one of these so far; it's an awesome deal for a great cause. Quote
Lorelei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Have you played Hammerfight? Weird game. I've got all the bundles so far. Didn't like the Fronzenbyte one much. Quote
The NZA Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 oh man, i totally forgot to play the ones i got with that pack. and nah on hammerflight. Quote
Thelogan Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 The only one I already have is VVVVVV, which I've only played briefly. Buying the bundle now. Quote
The NZA Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 WWW is mean but fun. i know i played Cogs for some steam achievement but didnt get into it, yo might dig And Yet it Moves, though. Quote
Lorelei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) VVVVVV has be recreated in C++ now - it was just a Flash game prior. He's put more stuff into it as well. Got an email today. I've just finished a very substantial new update to VVVVVV. It's a complete rebuild of the game in C++, for Windows, Mac, and at last, Linux! It also comes with a level editor, something I've always wanted to have in the game. Finally, this new version includes *10 new dimensions* to explore, built in the level editor by a few friends. You can find out more at this blog post on my site. Edited July 27, 2011 by Lorelei Quote
Thelogan Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 You're right about VVVVVV NZA, it's very mean. I played it for an hour or two and I don't think I've murdered a pixel that many times in rapid succession since N+. So far, Crayon Physics is awesome. Quote
Lorelei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 What's that bit in VVVVV something like "the hardest part" - have you done that bit - it was optional Quote
the division of joy Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 What's that bit in VVVVV something like "the hardest part" - have you done that bit - it was optional Yeah, I tried that bit an awful lot, I started to feel bad about how many times I got killed. No idea what it was for, but it was one of the hardest things I've faced in a game. Quote
Lorelei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 You get a shiny coin thing. You should definitely go back and do that bit of the game. Quote
the division of joy Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I might give it a go some time I'm in a good mood and need taking down a peg or two. Welcome back, by the way. Quote
Lorelei Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Cheers doj. Let's get a bit of negativity going for a change. For anyone's that interested in the cross-platform performance of these indie bundle games, firstly, for all the bundles, Windows users have spent the lowest -- an average of $3 for the bundles, with Mac users paying $5-6 and Linux users paying the largest amount of $10-11. This 3rd bundle (4th including the Frozenbyte one) has been a bit of a blunder for Linux users, with VVVVVV being the only game that installs relatively well. The other games take a lot of work to get running - not really feeling native at all - and performing really badly when they are working. Hammerfight's controls, glitchy menu system and game animations are enough to warrant even my Win7 install of it as a bad game. Quote
Thelogan Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Everyone who buys/bought it gets a free copy of Steel Storm! Quote
Thelogan Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 If you activated humble through steam, you already have it. It just showed up and I was like "wtf is this?" Sometimes I do late night drunken shopping. I was worried this was the case. Quote
Thelogan Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Got 15 minutes to kill? Want to feel like an incompetent gamer? VVVVV complete. No-death mode. Unfortunately, he doesn't go for all the trinkets. Quote
Thelogan Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Pay more than the average ($5.00 currently) and get all the games in Humble Indie Bundle 2 as well! 5 more days people! Quote
The NZA Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 in the same vein: anyone know if the games on the Indie Royale are any good? $5 ain't bad, and a few bring steam codes. Quote
Thelogan Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Let's see. I own A.R.E.S. (time played: 11 minutes) - It didn't grip me. Side scrolling platformer/shooter. It's fair to say I didn't give it much of a chance. Maybe it gets awesome. It probably doesn't. I own Sanctum (time played: 2 hours) - It's actually pretty cool, I don't think that number is accurate. Felt like I put more time into it. It's a typical tower defense game, but you do it all in first person. You take all the time you want to build, then when a wave launches you can run around and shoot things instead of just relying on your turrets and what not, and the amount of enemies you killed is how much money you have to spend on towers/obstacles/weapon upgrades before the next wave. I nice twist on the genre. Co-op is supposed to be fun. I own Nimbus. (time played: 47 minutes) - It's interesting. It's a sort of 2-D physics heavy obstacle avoidance game with unique/occasionally irritating controls. I think I hit the point where the game actually starts to become a challenge and just said "maybe later". That was in June. I have never heard of Gemini Rue. Quote
The NZA Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 ....huh. alright, well, i've certainly spent $4 on lesser things, and there's like 18 minutes to go... *edit: hours. 18 hours. Quote
Thelogan Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Sanctum is worth $4, definitely. Just look at the rest as bonus features. Quote
The NZA Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Serious Sam lightning bundle is up for just over $4, pretty good deal if you're a fan - always meant to try these games. also, i have an extra Serious Sam: DD code now if someone wants it. Quote
Thelogan Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Humble Indie Bundle for ANDROID! You also get the PC/Steam versions with it. Quote
