Smarty-pants games

A new bundle is now available fromIndie Royale. The “Thoughtful Bundle” consists of “clever” games, proving that it can get really difficult to come up with consistently good themes for bundle products over time.

Which is not to say these games won’t make you think. The rather challenging puzzle/platformerSnapshotis in there, along with the tower defense strategy ofFieldrunners.Aaaaa! A Reckless Disregard for GravityandSnuggle Truckare there to satisfy your need for physics puzzles. And the second chapter ofCognition: An Erica Reed Thrillerrounds out the bunch. All games come in Windows and Mac versions exceptAaaaa!, which is Windows-only.

If you pay more than $8 for the bunch, they’ll throw in a chiptune album,Night Animalsby Bright Primate. Of course, you can pay less. As with all Indie Royale bundles, the minimum price increases over time while purchases over the minimum will help push the price back down for others.
