Humble Voxels
October 31st, 2011 by CrusaderAnother Humble Indie Bundle has made its debut:
Humble Bundle is proud to present the Humble Voxatron Debut, featuring the Voxatron alpha, Lexaloffle Games’ brand new, voxel-based, action-adventure bulletfest!
Humble Voxatron Debut customers will receive ongoing updates as the developer keeps up with planned (and unplanned!) improvements to the game’s engine and content. So, pay what you want for the Voxatron alpha and…
Be the first to tackle this voxel-based, old-school-gone-new platform shooter. Pick up your trusty pea gun and shoot your way through more than twenty areas filled with blocky baddies, destructible toys, and palliative powerups.
Get Voxatron’s future content and gameplay updates. As a customer of the Humble Voxatron Debut, you’ll receive access to all of Lexaloffle’s future updates to Voxatron: levels, characters, and more!
Make awesome voxel levels, with monster creation tools on the way! After conquering the alpha adventure, check out the “BBS Levels” for instant-access to user-created content. Want to make your own masterpiece? The Voxde level editor is included with every purchase, granting you the ability to create mind-blowing new environments to share with the world. And soon, Lexaloffle plans to add monster creation tools for designing your own blocky bad guys to populate your creations.

Yummy, two arena shmups that will put my dual X-Arcade to great use :)

I’m downloading it right know… but it’s starting to feel as if the quality of the bundles is going down. I pay a fair price because I’m happy they release Linux games, but this doesn’t mean I’d buy anything they throw at me. I hope the next release will contain better known titles, even if this means waiting a bit longer.

I thought the bundle quality wasn’t as great as past ones either, until they added The Binding Of Isaac. It alone is worth the price of admission if the idea of a demonic, rogue-like, zeldaesque shooter strikes your fancy. I bought the game on release and it has given me many hours of entertainment and I’m still having fun with it thanks to the free content updates that the creators seem committed to push out.

I finally had time to play all of the games (except blocks that matter, due to some problem with Java), so I can give a better advice I think :)
I really find voxatron well made, but certainly not worth the 25$ I paid (just being supportive), maybe half of that. I personally find Isaac unplayable (slowdowns, weird gameplay, flash). I see that other commenters here loved it, so it must be a personal matter. However, both games are far from keeping me attached to the screen for… more than a couple of hours?
As of the past bundles, I think Trine was a top quality games, and Braid, Osmos and many others were very funny. I never expected anything big really, but this last bundle feels like no selection at all. The others at least had quantity on their side :/

I almost hoped that this release would remain a pay what you like alpha funding exercise, as the bundle side of the humble brand is starting to feel a bit watered down, but two previously unbundled titles from other devs turning up, alongside a handful of cute lexaloffle games, has made the bundling seem just about worthwhile.
