Name your price and dive into the critically acclaimed action-RPG Torchlight; the rugged sci-fi action platformer Rochard; physics-based brick breaker Shatter; top down space combat sim Space Pirates and Zombies; and steampunk puzzle platformer Vessel. Customers who beat the average price will also get the incredible frantic acrobatic platformer, Dustforce!

Wish the keys were individual, so I could gift the games I already had. But I went ahead and grabbed it based on the recommendations of the shatter soundtrack.

But do they make a simpler solution possible? or do they just make it easier to implement the solution? If it's the first case, I might not want the upgrade because I want an intellectual challenge... but if it just makes the controls easier, I want it. Maybe the level design had to be looser to accommodate the different options? Bah... I'm probably over analyzing it.

Torchlight 1 never really seemed to have enough depth for me, but at this price I'll pick it up.

I already had one or two of these games but I like to support them so I paid some and just put a little more to charity than usual.

SPaZ, Torchlight and Shatter! hell of a good bundle. Shatter has one of the best soundtracks you could ask for, thanks to m0dule.

Thanks for all of the input, all. I actually do have Torchlight, though I've barely played it. Sounds like the others might be worth it, though.

Hey, there are some games here I don't own! That's a pleasant surprise. Humble Bundle is quickly teaching me not to buy anything unbundled -> Especially in the case of Bundle V.

I already have Rochard, Shattered and SPAZ. I got them all during various Steam sales. I enjoyed Rochard. It wasn't very hard, and the puzzles were quite easy, but I want to play through again and find the two hidden places I missed. Shattered is a good time waster game if you just need to kill some time and don't want to get into something complicated. I really like SPAZ. It's the kind of game you think you're just going to play a bit of, then you just can't stop.

The only game on there I have interest in is Vessel. I was hoping to get it during a Steam sale. I think it came up as a flash sale during the Summer sale. I guess I might as well toss in $5 for the bundle just for Vessel since that's probably what it would go on sale for anyway.

Vessel is great if you enjoy puzzle-platformers. Really nice music too. I thought Rochard was pretty fun too, though not as good as Vessel. SPAZ was fun for a bit but then the randomly generated content fatigue sets in and it feels like a grind. Disappointing that the bundle doesn't include the soundtrack for Vessel.

Torchlight is pretty good, although if you don't have it already it probably isn't as big a deal to you. SPAZ is surprisingly fun. Shatter is great if you're a fan of games like Arkanoid, although it's a bit on the easy side for the genre. Rochard... meh. A bit overly convoluted for a platformer. Dustforce is okay, but more for the "platform masochist" set. Haven't played Vessel.
