ZealPath Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 By now I'm sure most of us are familiar with the Humble Bundles (pay what you want for indie games) but this one is a little different. What you're getting is the alpha, and all future updates of a game called Voxatron, which in the site's own words is a "voxel-based, old-school-gone-new platform shooter." Having just spent some time playing it, that description feels about right, and I have to say, not only was it loads of fun, but the old school sound effects and music (especially the little queues as you enter a new area) made me feel like I was 12 years old again. Head on over to http://www.humblebundle.com/ and check it out, this game looks like it will have an awful lot of content considering the editor and "bbs levels", and it's been a decent challenge so far as well.

SenPi Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 As much as I like and support humble bundles, I'd just like to point out that one game does not a bundle make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Agreed, and so, as if on queue, The Binding of Isaac and Blocks That Matter have been added to this to in fact, make it a bundle! I'm actually very happy about this as I was very much wanting to try Isaac but refused to insta-buy it on release due to having too many untouched games at the moment. Well, make it 2 more! These humble bundles are the gift that keeps on giving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clefairy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 what is the binding of isaac don't know much about it It's essentially a rogue-like in the style of the Underworld from the original Zelda. Items, map layouts, and bosses are randomized every time you play. I'd strongly recommend playing the demo before you jump onboard. It gets fairly challenging quickly, and there's liberal use of bodily fluids. I can't say it's inappropriate, given the scenario, but you may or may not be put off by it.

Moseph Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Oh man, I haven't even played almost half of the things in my Steam library. And I'm still buying this. help i've become a steam hoarder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 It's not billed as a bundle, it's "The Humble Voxatron Debut". More importantly, Clubbing of Isaac, yessss! I was hoping it'd appear in a bundle (..or a.. debut) since I seem to be in the habit of getting what these guys put out (and why not, as you can pay as much or as little as you can or like). Now.. I just need to find the time to play any of these 20 or so games I've gotten from these deals. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Binding of Isaac is a good cheap bundle-selling game Having said that I really wanted to play Voxatron but it doesn't work. It loads into the main menu but then nothing I hit on the keyboard or mouse makes anything move or respond in any way, I just have to ctrl+esc out of it. What's wrong with it? o.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Isn't Voxatron in alpha testing stages? It's probably a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It made me very sad, it looked like so much fun.. but from the way they talked about it, it sounds like it will have a lot of updates, levels, and characters and stuff that will be added to it later. Makes me wonder how are they planning on updating it? Do I have to go back to the humble bundle and download it again? Binding of Isaac ended up being funner than I expected.. It's one of those games that is ridiculously hard but you keep playing it and I don't know why. It is gross and I spent almost the entirety of one run-through peeing on my enemies. Very immature game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I haven't cracked into The Binding of Isaac yet, but I'm fully expecting some hilariously depraved stuff. Of course, it's from the same crew that brought us Super Meat Boy, so I'm sure my expectations will be fulfilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm almost as bad at it as I am at Super Meat Boy. I finally made it to the final boss of level 3 and died because I didn't realize I had to click after hitting space for one of the attacks. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 As usual, I don't have the time for the games, but I do have time for the soundtracks. The Blocks That Matter OST is super nice. Very chilly, yet warm and playful. Lots of tiny sounds, kind of chippy & idm-flavored, nice use of space. Me like. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 They've just updated Voxatron, as well as adding Gish to the bundle.. you can get a Steam key. They also added some smaller, download-only games to the bundle. And I still can't get Voxatron to respond at all. It loads up into the menu after the boar breaks through the logo, plays that chippy song... says Play, Editor, Options, or Exit.. and I can't get it to do anything after that. If anyone knows how to fix I'd really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
