DIYGamer: Looks like the leak was accurate. Hot on the heels of the thunderously successful Humble Voxatron Debut pack, the bargain-generating, part-charity titan that is the Humble Bundle return, this time offering every single game by prolific and generally excellent indie studio Introversion, all for whatever you want to pay, along with a couple of tech prototypes to play around with. Go over the average, and you get Bit-Blots amazing aquatic Metroidvania title Aquaria, as well as Petri Purhos Crayon Physics Deluxe thrown in to sweeten the deal. What are you waiting for? Go grab you some indie joy.
The second Humble Indie Bundle promotion has come to an end, and most would agree the event was another rousing success. The bundle brought in a whopping $1,822,922.02 from 232,846 contributors around half a million dollars more than the first promotion made back in May.
IndieGames.com: Oh wow. It's just been announced that if you have bought the Humble Indie Bundle #2, then the original bundle has now been added to your games list, bumping it up to 11 top-notch games. Oh wow. Yes, along with the five games you already had, you've now also got World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra and Samorost 2. Just visit your bundle link and you'll find them all waiting for you. There's even a Steam code so you can add the original bundle to Steam.
Bit Blot has made good on their Humble Indie Bundle promise, releasing the source code for Aquaria, now available for download and tinkering.
The pay-what-you-feel-like package of 6 classic award-winning indie games has received a 4 day extension, and now 4 of the games are even going open source. You still have until Saturday, May 15th at 1:00 PM PST to get Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra: Overture, Samorost 2, and World of Goo for any price you want.
Want to support both indie gaming and a couple of gaming charities, at whatever price you can afford, in one shot? There is less than one day left to purchase the Humble Indie Bundle for the PC, Mac and Linux platforms. Purchasing the Humble Indie Bundle will give you six great indie games and allow you to donate whatever you want (or can afford) to independent game developers, Child's Play, and/or the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

In a surprisingly short amount of time, the developers of five indie games have earned over $1,000,000 to be distributed amongst themselves, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Child's Play (after credit card fees). Each of the five developers has thus far earned about $144,641.
The Humble Indie Bundle can be purchased for whatever price you deem reasonable, and the distribution of your funds can be customized to favor the developers or non-profits, or to be split evenly between both.
Amanita Design, the small Czech team that released the award-winning Machinarium last October, has decided to make a donation to the Humble Indie Bundle of their own, but instead of donating money, they donated another game to the package to sweeten the deal for everybody else. Now you can get six classic award-winning indie games (World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra: Overture, and Samorost 2), for PC/Mac/Linux, with no DRM, at any price you feel like paying.
As the pay-what-you-like deal approaches the $500,000 USD mark, Jeffrey Rosen tells IncGamers it has been an epic success. There were many possible outcomes for this promotion ... but this is the best possible scenario that we ever hoped for.

The independent developers behind World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra: Overture have joined forces to cut out the middle man with the release of the Humble Indie Bundle.
