The folks over at http://www.humblebundle.com/ have arranged a debut launch under their normal "pay what you want" terms for the upcoming game Voxatron. The game isn't finished yet but you get all future updates and the playable current build.

EDIT1:

(If you bought the bundle before the new games were added you get them regardless of how much you paid)

I just had a talk with the Humble online chat support:

→hello!

→does this voxatron bundle feature a steam key?

Mark H: Unfortunately, no

Mark H: The game isn't on Steam yet, and if it is released on Steam, we don't have any control over whether or not Steam keys are given to Humble purchasers or not, sorry.

No Steam key.
Still gonna buy it.
I'll do it for the children.

What did you expect it's ALPHA... I asked if keys would be available when the game is finished and answer was the same, they don't know...

Looks fun, but I think I'm gonna wait a bit and see if they add more games.

I barely have enough time to play some Eve/PR and now some BF3. How do you guys find time to play all these different games?

Got a survivor's benefit from the govt to survive on while I look for a job.
I use "survive" loosely, cause I'm still living with my (step)father. (Though he does charges rent + I got a phone bill)

wtf????

It seems that those who bought it before they added the new games still get the promotion even though they paid less than the average...

I still got them....

What's not to understand? You aim by moving in the direction you wish to shoot, then hold the firebutton and it shoots in that direction untill you release the fire-button...

EDIT: Also, both The Binding of Isaac and Blocks That Matter kinda suck.. lol

You can use the mouse to aim too, but it's a pain in the ass because you can't see a cursor yet.

Really? Never discovered that...

Binding of Isaac needs mouse support tbh... and a checkpoint system, this whole "start from scratch" is retarded in such a hard game...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue-like

It gets a lot easier once you start to unlock the better items. The randomization of everything and 1 starting life give it huge replay value. Also, it's possible to find extra lives, which you don't really need once you get powerful, and the game really isn't all that long.

The sad part is that it's programmed in flash so it suffers performance issues and they still haven't fixed a lot of the bugs.

I think you might be able to aim with the mouse in isaac too. I actually prefer it to the arrows or whatever you are supposed to use.

Yes I know what Rogue-like games are, I like Dungeons of Dreadmor, at least that has savegames and easy difficulty... I played 2-3 "games" of Isaac and I couldn't even pass the first 3 levels... Just offer an easy-mode or something, that's all I ask...
And Isaac is realtime instead of turnbased so it's far more punishing to play as a rogue-like...

You can use the mouse in Isaac, but it's pointless since you can only fire straight up/down/right/left as if you used the arrow keys...

So if there's a huge mob chasing you, you have to run into them for a sec to actually aim at them? That is retarded.

Yeah I noticed this morning when I got the E-mail... They don't really look that interesting though, and I already have Gish from the other bundle it was in... I'll quote you in the OP

I've also played alot more Binding of Isaac, it's actually pretty good but it's soooooo based on chance, get the right upgrades and you can beat it in a jiffy, get the wrong ones and it's impossible...
