You like bundles? I like bundles too, having bought the Humble Bundle previously. The group of indie developers behind Indiegamespack.com have come up with a special promotion called the Summer Six Pack. They are giving 50% of the price of the bundle if customer were to share details of the bundle to their friends on Facebook.
This experiment is certainly different from that of the Humble Bundle, and the bundle itself consist of both Mac and PC games. Check out the press release below for more information:
Indie-Games Group Offers “Summer Six-Pack” of Casual Games for a Massive ‘Share’ of Fun at an Amazing Price
Creative Bundle of Games from Independent Game Developers Offers Huge Variety of Titles for only $10 Dollars—or Only $5 When “SHARED” on Facebook
Montréal, Québec – June 6, 2011 — Indiegamespack.com, a collective of six independent game developers, today unveiled a unique limited promotion for game enthusiasts and casual gamers called “Indie-Games Summer Six Pack”. This special offer is a collection of six indie-games for the PC for only US $10 dollars. Because of the viral nature of the indie-game market, and to share the amazing value this collection offers, the “Summer Six Pack” is offered for only US $5 when customers “SHARE” this promotion on their Facebook page.
Variety of Games in Summer Six Pack = Choice and Fun
Whether immersing into the lush Aztec world in a role-playing-game (RPG) adventure, building ecologically-sound ‘Green’ cities, re-building a damaged spaceship, testing puzzle strategy skills on islands and distant galaxies, flexing one’s ability to manipulate a magical, colourful cube, or going on a straight-jacket adventure through a creepy children’s hospital—this DRM-free “Indie-Games Summer Six-Pack” bundle offers a fantastic value for all summer gaming interests.
“As digital distribution started making it easier to bring independent games to market, getting attention and pick-up in a sea of games for a single-title became nearly impossible,” said Alexandre Renaud, executive producer at Ovolo Games, and director of the indie-games collective.
“With the ‘Indie-Games Summer Six Pack’ we are combining six really great games into a ‘multi-pack’ format–giving customers a nice variety of games to play over the summer–at a ‘can’t-say-no’ price. The price gets even sweeter when customers ‘Share’ on Facebook, as a ‘Thank You’ for the community support. Revenues from this promotion will help fund all of our respective studios for new games and initiatives,” said Renaud.
The Games Included in the Bundle Are:
Aztaka – Lush, hand-painted RPG game where the player encounters ancient, newly-awakened gods (both good and evil)—in a battle and race to restore prosperity and hope for the people of the Aztec Empire.
City Rain – In a ‘Tetris-meets-Sim City’ puzzle game, the player must quickly re-structure cities falling into place to be eco-friendly and ‘green’ enough to meet the strict rules of the World Environment Protection agency.
Puzzlegeddon – An inventive mix of puzzle, action and strategy. On the player’s island of choice, they must defeat opponents throughout the many galaxies, beat their own personal profile and play online competing with friends all over the world
Bob Came in Pieces – This engaging puzzle-adventure game revolves around Bob, who has crashed on a strange planet and lost quite a few parts to his ship—on top of it all, Bob is late for work. The player must fine the lost parts to rebuild and customize Bob’s ship while solving challenging, physics-based puzzles.
Vizati – This puzzle game requires the player to manipulate a magical cube and group the small Vizati stones by color, through a limited number of moves. The player must rotate, flip, or shake the magical cube for a game this is easy to understand, but hard to master.
Lylian Episode I: Paranoid Friendship – In this slightly ‘dark’ action/adventure game, Lylian is a patient in the children’s ward at the Hacklaster Hospital. Lylian has an uncanny ability to spew forth figments of her mind into the real world—while causing considerable damage with her long, dangling straitjacket sleeves.
