Gaming All The Time’s Indie Face Kick Bundle has now gone live so you can grab the games straight away upon payment.
The Indie Face Kick Bundle is go and properly this time – none of that pre-ordering lark. Mind you, if you did pre-order the bundle you would have got it for cheaper plus you should have received your Steam keys in an email yesterday.
For those who didn’t take advantage of the pre-order, you can now grab the bundle for a slightly higher price but you will see that money turn into Steam codes immediately. There’s actually two versions of the bundle – the Wham Bam! Bundle priced at $10 comes with all 8 games and an original album from FreddeGedde while the Wham Bam Pow! Bundle priced at $20 comes with all of the games, the album and a limited edition Indie Face Kick t-shirt.
Let’s focus on the games for now though, what do we have up for grabs?
It’s back…again! The Be Mine Bundle 2 has been announced so it’s time to guess what games may be in this forthcoming indie game deal.
Hopefully we won’t have all of the hiccups that the first Be Mine Bundle caused with this sequel bundle. As was the same with the other one, a trailer has been released announcing it and what it will contain. It seems the Be Mine Bundle 2 will be linked with Feed Them With Music charity this time around, which is presumably getting a cut of the money from this and probably the supplying the music that will be given away when a certain amount of donations are received.
You’ll get six games with this one, initially at least, which all come with Steam keys. There’ll also be four bonus levels that, if it works like the original bundle, will be unlocked when certain donation targets are reached. The trailer is below and if you want to know what games are being teased as part of the bundle just scroll down a little further.
So, did you work out which games it was? Well, we have the list right here for your convenience:
The aforementioned Indie Face Kick Bundle has now been officially revealed by its creators and there are actually more games in there now than we thought. It seems the creators greased a few more palms, specifically, Headup Games.
The reveal came in the form of a trailer which you can peer at below, though I will warn you, it’s ugly. It’s five minutes long, just shows a little bit of gameplay from each game and to a soundtrack that I would rather not hear again…ever. So, you best bet is just to look at our roundup of the 8 games in the bundle to your own soundtrack. You’ll be glad to hear that all of the games come with a Steam code as we suspected, but we have no idea on what the pricing system will be still.
You can expect more information on the Indie Face Kick Bundle soon, for now you may want to head on over to the official website and sign up with your email address to be notified when it goes live.
Two Midweek Madness sales are going on right now through Steam, with both focused on indie games. Each bundle contains five games for the price of one, and their sale has less than 48 hours remaining.
One of the bundles is aptly titled the Indie 2D Bundle and have some of the best 2D games all rolled into one from Gaijin Games, Nicalis, Over the Top Games, Ronimo Games, and 2D BOY. This bundle is $9.95, which makes each game less than $2!
The 2D titles are the following:
Swords & Soldiers HD (RTS)
World of Goo (puzzle)
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER (action platform)
Nightsky (action-puzzle)
Nyxquest: Kindred Spirits (platform)
The Indie Strategy Bundle also works out to being less than $2 a game, with hits from 11 Bit Studios, Hidden Path Entertainment, Puppygames, Cadenza Interactive and Coffee Stain.
The five strategy titles are the following:
Anomaly: Warzone Earth
Defense Grid: The Awakening
Revenge of the Titans
Sanctum
Sol Survivor
$20 for ten games!? I hate to sound like an old fart, but that was unheard of in the olden-timey cartridge/retail only generation. Thank Asura for indie bundles!
Cadenza Interactive has released a new update for its turret defense title Sol Survivor, bringing the game to version 1.8 and adding the new build-your-own Custom Officer feature among other items.

Cadenza Interactive has several new announcements that we need to pass along. First off, their turret defense title Sol Survivor has been updated to v1.81, adding just a small list of bug fixes to the game (or does it?) Owners of the game can pick it up now on Steam.

During which, the game (as well as its already discounted four-pack) can be purchased for 50% off the standard price. The free period ends Sunday, October 10 at 1 PM Pacific.
Finally, Blue’s News has word that the update brings more than what’s shared by the Steam news feed, as well as alerting us to the development of the team’s next (currently unannounced) title. I can’t for the life of me find this quote from Cadenza anywhere else, but Blue has always been a reliable source in the past so we’ll take his word for it:
Included with the weekend sale and free play is a new patch including customizable turret loadouts for single and multiplayer games. This is the latest in a long line of community-inspired additions to the game which, along with new map content, is a free addition to the game as a “thanks” for the passionate support of our community. Come share in our creation process as we continue to grow Sol Survivor and our next title now in development!
