Title: Humble Frozenbyte Bundle
Post by: idolminds on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, 06:33:24 AM: Trailer! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZaM6LHC_uXA)

Going up later today is a new Humble Bundle, this time with games by Frozenbyte. Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor are in there, plus Jack Claw and Splot which are band new. So new that Splot is actually a preorder.

I'll have to see about getting this one. I already have Trine, but I might want Shadowgrounds since previously it required Steam.

Awesome pack, and Jack Claw is pretty funky!

EDIT:
I forgot to mention you need a X360 gamepad to play Jack Claw!

Post by: idolminds on Friday, April 22, 2011, 04:46:42 PM: Note, we already were getting Splot for "free". That was always part of the bundle. The Teaser game is new, though.
