To celebrate sweat patches and the lack of rain/snow/hail – we’ve teamed up with a bunch of awesome Nordic developers to offer the most amazing bundle deal known to mankind.

For a pathetic $20, you’ll be able to take home Blueberry Garden, Bob Came in Pieces, Crayon Physics Deluxe, Saira and Plain Sight!

Head on over to the steam product page for all the info

PS: oh yes, also check out Introversions incredible deal; all their games for £5. That’s the cost of a pint of beer in London.

I want to but this but I already have these games. Also, plain sight should go on sale for an even lower price so more people can buy it.

10$ is already pretty low, going much lower than that would seem like it’d be hurting the indie game developers.

it’s a choice between a few sales at a lower price or no sales at a higher price.

while 10 dollars is low, there are games that normally sell for more that are now selling for less than $10 like killing floor and serious sam, and more people bought them (I know I did)

True, but those games are made by and/or sponsored by larger companies. They can afford to chip a penny or two off the price to get more customers. Small indie developers who aren’t supported by such companies don’t have the same freedom to hack and slash their prices at will.

the games in the humble indie bundle had each been out more than a year.  Also this was great advertising for their new products.  Beatnik Games doesn’t fit into either category.

Touche, but still, what harm would it do to a game that no one is buying (or hardly anyone is buying) to bring the price below ten dollars for a week to see if it would increase sales. If it does bring up sales then that’s great, Beatnik gets money. If no one buys it then it’s the same as it ever was.

I don’t see a bad side to a sale, really
