I have no idea what's going on in that PixelJunk Eden trailer. Apparently you fling shrimp at line art?
Noitu Love 2: Devolution looks pretty cool, sort of like Gunstar Heroes but without the shooting.
Probably going to skip this one, though. Do we know what the bonus is for having bought 5 IRB's?

I enjoyed PixelJunk Eden on the PS3, but I don't think I made it even halfway through before stopping. The goal, if I remember correctly, is pretty simple: traverse the environment upwards and cause various plant-like things to grow so you can climb on their branches, etc.
edit: traversal basically involved this grapple-swing-and-release method.
PixelJunk Shooter 1 and 2, on the other hand, is far more enjoyable to me. It'd be cool if they brought those out to the PC.
Noitu love 2 is a REALLY good game, if a bit short. It's well worth the minimum price. Haven't seen any of the others before, but they look interesting.

June Bug Bundle is good bundle.
I've briefly checked out everything but Escape Goat (gonna do that in a few here), and the Iconoclasts Alpha. Auditorium is super intriguing, Noitu Love is a great mix of frantic action and awesome controls, and Pixeljunk Eden is super tasty and pretty relaxing for a 2D platformer.
Escape Goat is absolutely brilliant; chock full of oldschool charming 2D puzzle platforming goodness, friendly mouse companions, mystical sheep, and magic hats. The bundle is worth the price of admission just for that.
Based on the vids, escape goat is what pushed me to pull the trigger on this one. Too bad it's the one without the steam key. Gotta fit it in to the backlog somehow...... oh god the backlog.... it's threatening to smother me.

If you are regularly buying Indie Royales having a Desura account is a great thing. Everything in these bundles registers on the service, it's very unobtrusive and has some nice Steam-like features. And a feature I wish Steam would implement; It will not update a game until you give it the all-clear. You can set it for auto-updates too. Also, every update gives you a change log. You paying attention here Steam?
Ya, I got a desura account actually before indie royale existed for a portal mod that was only distributed through desura. I don't have anything against it, just like having things in one place. Now drm free download + steam key is of course ideal:) Anyways, enough OT.
Just so something on topic they have added escape goat OST and exclusive remix OST to the June bug bundle.
Auditorium: Absolutely lovely.
Pixeljunk Eden: Simple and elegant and wonderful.
Haven't dived into the other 2 yet.
There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

You gotta try Escape Goat. Seriously.
I'm really looking forward to trying out the level editor once I finish off the game. I've taken a quick look at it and it's dead simple to use, but the variety of gameplay and puzzle solving available makes the possibilities really exciting.
Escape Goat's soundtrack is really good and can be gotten for free from the dev's website, along with the soundtracks to his two other games, Soulcaster 1 and 2 (which are also really good games with good soundtracks). You can also buy Soulcaster 1 and 2 from his website for $5 which is a great price for those games

I seem to be completely incapable of buying any bundle that isn't a Humble bundle.
Indie Royale seems to hit that perfect spot for me. They bundle games that I am interested in (or look interesting enough) but not enough to warrant a solo purchase. The price point is worse than HIB, but still great for what you get. HIB may get the big names, but like the last bundle, I owned 100% of it.

Yeah I'm of the exact same opinion. The royale collections are often obscure yet desirable but the HIB is insane if you never buy games outside of it.

The price point is worse than HIB? The price hovers around $4-6! If you're paying less than that for the HIB then I guess that's your choice but that's still really low.
I've been enjoying it too. I really like how when you get to the edge of a platform, Goat will stand on the edge in the way goats stand on edges of things.
OK you know what let's just take a screenshot to illustrate my point:
Normal goat:
Edge goat:
I just love his little stare at you. Small touches like this make the difference between a good game and a great game.
And escaped the escape goat from the main game tonight:) Good fun. On the easy side and short but good times:) Looking forward to seeing if the challenge levels up next raise the bar.
Most of the Escape Goat levels are just a matter of taking one logical step at a time, in situations where you don't have many options at any given point in time.
But then, every once in a while, I'm just like, "Fucking seriously?"
Ya, I just took a stab at the All Intensive Purposes and holy bejeases the difficulty went up:) Only made it up to room 5 in the hinterlands so far but all have had much higher difficulty. Room 4 was the devil... of the fun but pad wrecking variety.

-Great Little War Game
-Cardinal Quest
-Smiles HD
-Legends of Yore
+ for over $4:
-Manor of the Damned
-Turba
-Pittri 1977
you only get pc copies if you pay more than average and only turba is on steam (a few things are on desura though)
But then, every once in a while, I'm just like, "Fucking seriously?"
Great game.
You get all 6 games for $6 and you have the option of giving more to the devs if you want.

Is it kosher to give away keys for games I already own? If so, I have a copy of The Void for whoever wants it.
Twitter
Yeah I think so. Giving away keys for an alternate service after using one is debatable but for games you already own it's cool of people

I loved Commandos, but damn, it was very hard. 2 is the best one, in my opinion.
For a second there, I thought that said Portal 2, and my mind turned inside-out.
