Pay whatever you want for three acclaimed Android games -- Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Osmos and EDGE -- and in the bargain you'll score desktop versions for Windows, Mac and Linux.
It sounds too good to be true: pay whatever price you want for a bundle of critically acclaimed indie games -- Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Osmos and EDGE -- and you'll be able to play them not only on your Android smartphone but also on your Windows, Mac or Linux PC. The
Humble Bundle has brought its innovative app purchasing structure to Android with its latest bundle, which, in addition to giving you cross-platform gaming licences, also provides you with copies of the game's soundtracks.
An interesting twist on tower defence... Anomaly: Warzone Earth.
Plus, if you decide to better the average price being paid at the time you purchase, you also 'unlock' a fourth free game, the hit puzzler World of Goo (at time of writing, the collection is averaging a pocket-friendly $5.85 and is understandably rising slowly).
In addition to providing a fairly remarkable opportunity in terms of consumer-defined value (depending on how frugal/generous you happen to be feeling), another neat touch with the Humble Bundle's approach is the way that it lets the purchaser decide exactly how to apportion the fee he or she decides upon. All or part of your purchase can be paid towards either the games' developers or to socially minded causes: the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child’s Play Charity. Tipping the Humble Bundle's organisers is also possible.
And the deal seems to be making sense with shoppers too. At time of writing, over $338,000 had been paid by some 57,000 purchasers, and all on the promotion's first day. But if you're keen to take advantage of the offer, don't delay: the Humble Bundle is only available for two weeks.
