I will donate $1 and 94 cents. Not much, but it's all I can spare.
The selection is definitely better than the last bundle. I only own VVVVVV, and I'm interested in Crayon Physics, AYIM, and Cogs.
The average contribution per platform is interesting. Apparently we windows users are stingy.
Linux $10.39
Mac $5.57
Windows $3.26
I already had VVVVVV and Cogs. Even so I bought the bundle. Will be giving a few more later on to some friends. Even if you have the games or don't like the lineup donate to support the charities and the indie devs. More dollars means more great games for windows, mac and linux (some ports were made to be released with this bundle and the last one)
I bought the first two bundles, and I already have most of the games from the third (save Cogs, which I'm not really interested in), so I may just throw some money toward Child's Play this time around.
Y'know what? I'm still kind of pissed of with the Indie Bundle crew - I'd been checking deligently up on them and missed a couple of days only to find they hosted the second one and I lost out by mere minutes. And then they went and said "Puppies for everyone!" and gave everybody Bundle #1 as well. Kinda chapped my ass. By "kinda", I mean "really fucking"Oh... so the warm feeling of "giving money for a good cause" wasn't enough for you then? So much so that you actually felt ripped off when they gave the first bundle away free to early donaters?
Is the paypal button missing for anyone else now? I was looking at this at work today and now I'm home and the paypal button is missing, but it still references it on the page's text.
I got the bundle not even 30min ago through paypal and the button was there... Must be some sort of temporary glitch. Maybe try again in an hour or so? Best of luck :)Is the paypal button missing for anyone else now? I was looking at this at work today and now I'm home and the paypal button is missing, but it still references it on the page's text.
I usually pay $10 or twice the windows average whichever is bigger. Usually I already have the games (steam sales) so it's more of a donation thing. I do really like getting the free sound track MP3's sometimes though. I hope they do that here although I'm not sure that some of this round have soundtracks.
@RuthLoose: First time I finished THAT trinket, I only went and landed on the wrong side at the bottom again.
That god damn troll block was laughing at me I swear.

Just FYI, you also have to factor in the other pie chart which notes who the majority of contributors are, which are Windows users. While yes, the calculated average of Windows users are lower than the others, the pool it is calculated from is significantly larger. The last time I saw the pie chart of users, it looked like Windows users were about 60% of all contributions, and Linux and Mac were 20% each.
In other words, while the calculated averages are as they show, the larger the sample size, the more likely the chance of the average contribution will likely be lower.
Still cheap.@Vampir said:

I have bought 2 of these games already, so i dunno if it is a huge deal for me. Although i might throw15 bucks their way for the other 3 and a bit of the money is going to charity (will probably go 50/50)
.
This whole pack is worth it for VVVVVV.
I'd only heard of the others and sampled them. Here's my opinion:
Cogs - Way fun, clever spin on an old trick, but gets pretty tricky pretty fast. Good in bursts, not long periods.
And Yet it Moves - Better in concept then in practice. A fun diversion, but not wonderful.
Crayon Physics - Quite clever, really fun, but gets hard REALLY fast.
Hammerfight - Not great. But it's weird.
I'm sad that Crayon Physics on steam isn't Mac supported (even though all the games have Mac versions on the site). Get on that, Steam! I like all my games in one convenient location! :)
