Damn, just got it. The games work fairly flawlessly, and SPAZ seems like something close to FTL. GREAT!

Quoting: "Kame, post: 5460, member: 102"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.
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 :)

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.

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.

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...

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
