In Humble Indie Bundle 8 added new games
Another sale of the Humble Indie Bundle, some time after the start, has traditionally been replenished with new games. And one of them is not so indie, lovers of good graphics will appreciate. For those who are interested - welcome under the cat;)
Many people probably know this action, but just in case, I’ll tell you what it is.
Humble Indie Bundle is a sale of cross-platform and DRM-free indie toys that you can pay as much as you want. Project site .

The price for a set is determined by you and it can be any, starting with $ 0.01. However, some games are only available if you pay above the average amount. In addition, the money received is distributed as follows: a part goes to the developers, a part is donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play organizations and another part goes to the Humble Bundle team. And here you can also indicate to whom and how much to pay. You can pay using PayPal, Google Wallet, Amazon Payments. Starting with this release, Bitcoin is also accepted for payment.
The toys are cross-platform and ported to all popular operating systems: Windows, MacOS and Linux. For Linux, the native version often comes out for the first time.
As I said, games do not contain any DRM, do not require any activation, you can download installers as many times as you like. You can even upload via torrent. Those who paid at least $ 1, also receive a key to activate the game on Steam. The latest bundles can also be activated in the Ubuntu Software Center. In addition to the toys themselves, soundtracks are often included.
Shares are quite popular, and sometimes they come across not only indie, but also more serious projects, for example, in the last seventh issue one could get Brütal Legend. But first, let's see what we have prepared in this issue.
Frankly, I did not play in the whole game, so I will describe the part briefly enough. First, consider the games that are available with the purchase of a set for any amount. And I will start with the one that I liked the most.
The game from the creators of World of Goo. In short, the essence of the game: we have a stove and we burn in it :) You can buy anything, burn several items at once and make all sorts of combos, etc. Graphics, physics, music and even the plot are attached.
I like it. Perhaps because I remembered how in childhood I set fire to everything that was possible :)
This game interested me in the first place, thanks to the graphics and soundtrack. Originally started as a mod for Half-Life 2, it grew into a full-fledged game. Opinions about her vary greatly. Some even argue that this is not a game at all :) But here everyone decides for himself.
The game with a minimalist, but with a good design and storyline.
2-D platformer, in which our character, dressed in a spacesuit gets on a planet inhabited by very unfriendly creatures.
2-D toy in the style of DotA (MOBA) in a cartoon style. Bought in the Humble Bundle will receive an exclusive character skin.
These games are available to those who pay above the average cost. The first two games were originally, the rest added today. For those who bought the set before, the added ones will be available regardless of the amount paid.
Fast 2-D shooter, top view. They kill us with one shot, so I would not call a casual game.
In this game we explore the island. The world is generated randomly each time.
3-D platformer with enough original graphics and music.
2-D platformer with ragdoll physics and, as stated, an epic boss. I recommend to watch the video, it is definitely epic :)
Puzzle. More than 100 levels located in 17 worlds.
Well, the most, in my opinion, I left the tasty last.
Many people interested in games for Linux have probably heard about Unigine from Tomsk, which developed the cross-platform engine of the same name and the popular Heaven benchmark based on it. And on their engine, they made the game Oil Rush.
The game is the RTS, in which we fight for the remnants of the most important resource - oil. The action takes place exclusively in the sea, because battles have already led to the fact that the water level has risen and the land no longer remains.
Since the game is based on the Unigine engine, the order is complete with graphics. I decided to insert a gameplay video instead of a trailer, since there the graphics are newer. At the same time the idea of the game process will be more complete.
This game has long wanted to see but it was expensive for me to buy it. So this game was for me an unexpected pleasant bonus. Moreover, in addition to the game itself and the soundtrack, the Tower Defense Map Pack is also provided.
This set of toys, in my opinion, came out very worthy. Already for the sake of one Oil Rush worth taking.
PS: The promotion will last another week.
