It’s Hard to Beat Six Indie Games for $20

Indie Love Bundle Amanita Design, Broken Rules, Cipher Prime, Citeremis, Hemisphere Games and Omni Systems are feeling generous. The six developers have got together and decided to offer their games in one bundle for a very low price.

The Indie <3 Bundle comprises six games: And Yet It Moves, Auditorium, Aztaka, Eufloria, Machinarium and Osmos. You can have them all for just $20. Considering Machinarium alone goes for that price (and is worth it), it’s a hard offer to pass up — unless you already own the majority of the list.

And if you own all of them save Aztaka, it might be easier to just win it.
