Me too. ;-)
Most interesting is that on average Linux users gave most ($14.53), more that Mac ($10.18) and Windows (7.95).

If my Paypal account was working, I would've bought the bundle there and then.

Now the games from the first bundle are also available in the second. For those who bought it until yesterday or so, they're already included, all others need to pay more than the current average to get them. And if the end result gets over 1.75 million dollars (over 1.5 already), Revenge Of The Titans will get open-sourced.

Includes the Frozenbyte games Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor (plus source code, so far the Windows code only though) and Trine, also the not-yet-finished Splot and the never-finished Jack Claw (including assets and source code).

You get a funny message if you try to pay less than a dollar for it, this time. :P

If you manage to get "And Yet It Moves" working on a recent linux distro, let me know.. I can't run it with Mint 11 64 bit at the moment.. i'm getting the same error these guys report which is super disappointing :*(

http://andyetitmoves.net/forum/index.ph ... 805#msg805

this how it looks when I try to run it: http://olson.hopto.org/error.jpeg

I emailed support earlier hoping for a fix and am still waiting for "approval" for the forums.

Cogs is nice though, I think I'll enjoy that one and the crayons is interesting, not mad on Hammer Fight yet, perhaps it be good later on :)

And Yet it Moves works ok here (64 bit Debian unstable, with a Mesa 7.11 snapshot. Cogs doesn't work, since the 32 bit Mesa is still at 7.10. Might be your problem as well.

Oh bah... 'cos "Cogs" works fine for me and the rest, just "And Yet It Moves" doesn't :(

Not sure I want to mess around with MESA and so.. everything else is ok bar this.

Thanks though, perhaps it give me something to go on.

peace.

6 days to go, and the Bundle now includes Steel Storm: Burning Retribution. For those who already bought it, and those who pay more that the average it also includes Bundle #2, with Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos and Revenge Of The Titans.

Also there were some updates, in my system now all five games run.
