The Humble Indie Bundle is back for round two, which means that you’ve got another deal with some terrific indie games to run on your Mac, completely DRM-free. This time, you get Jonathan Blow’s excellent time-shifting platformer Braid, quality puzzle game Machinarium, iOS favorite Osmos, and Cortex Command and Revenge of the Titans, two titles still under development. Just like last time, you can pay any price you want. While the games by themselves would cost you $85, people have paid up to $1000 just to promote and support independent game development — and just like last time, all of the games are playable on Mac, Windows and Linux as you choose. You can also give any or all of the money donated to charity, so really this is about as awesome as a game deal gets. Pay whatever you want to someone worthy of the money, and you get five games to do with as you please.
Last time around, the bundle raised upwards of a million dollars, and Linux users, we’re told, were twice as generous as Windows users. That seems to be the case this time as well (with Mac users only a little better than Windows), so let’s head on over and represent, since it’s definitely true that Mac users are willing to pay a quality price for quality software. I can tell you outright that Braid and Osmos are worth a $20 donation on their own, so head on over, give some money, and support some more than generous independent game developers.
