Personal comments;
A good bundle Torchlight is a very welcome game, probably now one of the best RPG Linux has it's seriously good.

Will be interesting to see how many of these from all the bundles will be on the steam linux version.

S.P.A.Z i can't seem to open :(

Man, I was hoping for the Humble Steam Linux Beta Bundle. Buy the HIB, get into the Steam Linux beta!

On the other hand, a very nice looking set of games. I've been wondering when Dustforce was gonna get a Linux build.
I'm guessing they must have discovered some super bugs in the Linux/Mac builds of Vessel just before the HIB launched, can't see any other reason they'd be late like that.
Anon 18 Sep 2012
Yes, Torchlight! I was considering buying it from GOG, but I guess this saves me and gives me a Linux version! Hopefully T2 will follow.

This might not be as impressive as HIBV, but it is still very good. Especially Torchlight and Vessel, really liked the look of those two.
Kame 18 Sep 2012
Woah, didn't even realize Rochard is a Unity game. I expect we'll be seeing a LOT more of those in the HIB's in the days to come.

Also looks like 3 of the ports were done by Edward Rudd. I love when he does ports because things tend to just work with Twinview.

"Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen issues concerning our Vessel ports for Mac and Linux, these versions aren't quite ready for prime time. We will be getting Vessel out to bundle buyers as soon as possible (24-72 hours)."

but yeah..one of the best Bundles so far

Torchlight 2 in 2 days tho...so i wont be playing Torchlight much cuz i have already completed it via wine

SPAZ starts fine but framerate in menu is like 2 fps.
Liam Dawe 18 Sep 2012
SPAZ i got to start :), think it's pretty sweet so far :D

I paid over the average to make sure I got all the game :)

Liam Dawe 18 Sep 2012
Everyone run before he explo...too late.
Guest 18 Sep 2012
I just hope they follow up with Torchlight 2 on Linux. Maybe there will be an AMA and we'll get some answers then.
Liam Dawe 18 Sep 2012
Considering number 1 is out and HIB always do well, we can bet it will be :)
Anon 18 Sep 2012
Damn, just got it. The games work fairly flawlessly, and SPAZ seems like something close to FTL. GREAT!

Well, it seems pretty obvious to me that this bundle was scheduled to coincide with Torchlight 2's release. It's entirely possible that the porter involved with Vessel just wasn't given the time needed to complete the work. Looking at [URL='http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/humble/#timeline']the schedule[/URL], this is the closest that two Indie bundles have ever been together, and I was massively surprised to see one so close after #5 (which would be a pretty tough act to follow).

The Humble Visualisations are [URL='http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/humble/#Indie+6']tracking stats for this bundle[/URL] (as well as displaying previous ones). I'm also working on some new features that I'm hoping to give people a preview of as we get closer to the end of this bundle :)
Hamish 18 Sep 2012
Well, a little too close to the last in my opinion, but it does look to be another good Bundle. Interesting to see Torchlight finally show up on our noble little platform.

Still, I can not help but notice that the Bundles do seem to cater too much to the platformer crowd though. Nothing wrong with these games, but there should be more than those being offered by the Indie gaming community. Has there been a single Indie Bundle without one? Have we not moved beyond the Braid hype?

Just a thought... again, not dissing the game (I have many found memories of platforming games). But getting stuck in a rut can be bad for everyone.

Torchlight is welcome but it's a pure hack n'slash, not an RPG.
The rest of the bundle is once again full of platformers... It looks as if indie studios were trapped in a microscopic subset of creativity. How can they all do the same thing? Damn! There is so much to invent!

Excluding bonus games, the Frozen Synapse bundle didn't have any platformers (though it had the Frozenbyte Bundle included for people who contributed more than the average). If Aquaria doesn't count as a platformer, then the Voxatron Debut didn't have any platformers, and neither did the Botanicula Debut and Android #3.

So, whilst platformers do seem to have a lot of presence, there have still been a good number without.

I would definitely get it for SPAZ and maybe Torchlight... if I could, that is. My last free-spending money went to the FTL devs... :(
Then again, it has only just started. Not sure my situation will change, but we'll see.
Liam Dawe 19 Sep 2012
Well currently Torchlight is unplayable after a while due to a crash bug :(, decent game though very hack and slash!

I only played for about two hours and it was fine. It's unable to run in fullscreen for me though...

No love for Shatter? It's totally the best game in the bundle :D

Anytime I get to level 4 in the mines it crashes to desktop.

Haven't tried it yet, just tried Rochard, got to say Unity stuff is pretty good, can even use my laptops sound buttons when it's full screen hardly any games let me do that on Linux, top notch :D
