I also got a copy of the Frozenbyte bundle with my purchase. PM me if you want the Steam code. Code given away.

The gameplay video for Frozen Synapse that was posted in the older thread on it looked good.

I'm not interested in anything in the bundle, but I might toss them $5-10 just for Frozen Synapse. I'm saving most of my charity pennies for November though when we start the 2011 Child's Play donation drive (with matching as always).

Too bad I already own Frozen Synapse... maybe it might be worth purchasing for a friend though.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Awesome, if you have not already acquired it.

According to RPS,

"Beat the average price- currently a genuinely humble $4.17 – and you’ll get the earlier Frozenbyte bundle (comprising Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor, a preorder for Splot and a prototype of Jack Claw) thrown in for free. Frozen Synapse normally costs $25, so this is a splendid deal from a punter’s point of view. Celebratory announcement video below!"

Thanks for posting this! I was actually going to do it fairly soon, since no one had posted it yet.

Frozen Synapse is a damn brilliant game. (So brilliant, that I infact suck at it.) You can see TB's review of it here.

And that's also a brilliant deal, seeing as yes, it's normally a $20 game. IMO, you should pay at least $10 for it. $5 if you're destitute. And even then, you're still getting the rest of the games that were available in the Frozenbyte bundle. That's a pretty screaming deal.

 

[Aikouka]

Hmm I don't own Shadowgrounds, so maybe I'll get this anyway.

They added TRAUMA to the Frozen Synapse bundle

TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games. It builds upon this established formula by introducing a gesture-based interface, real-time 3D technology for dynamic level layouts, unique photographic visuals and a level design philosophy that focuses on creating a rich experience rather than an elaborate puzzle challenge. Combined with the unconventional story, it is aimed to be a compact and deep game for a literate and mature audience.

Never heard of it but seems reasonably interesting.

And the price is right.

 

[Dankk]

And the price is right.

Yeah. I would buy it, except that I already own EVERY SINGLE GAME in this bundle - Trauma being the only exception - and from what I hear, Trauma isn't all that interesting of a "game".

But still... the price is right.

Tried Frozen Synapse and expected to like it, since I'm a fan of Jagged Alliance 2 and Silent Storm, but really couldn't stand it. Just not fun or even remotely interesting to me. Oh well.

They just added SpaceChem to it

 

[CU]

Does anyone know how many levels are in the campaign?

 

[Martimus]

Bought it entirely for Space Chem, but I'll try the others as well. I spent $10 on it, although maybe I will donate more later if I find I play some of the other games.

Thanks!

I never got in on humble pie, so do they typically add more content as time passes or do they switch stuff out?

It looks like there's 6 days left and I'd like to get it for Frozen Synapse, but Space Chem was also on my want list.

They've added content to most of them that I can remember. If you purchase it at all you get all of the games in the bundle even if they are added after you paid for it so if you were interested in them theres really no downside to purchasing now instead of waiting.
