From my downloads page it looks like Wolfire, Oxeye and Mojang are all making a game for this.

[Criptfeind]

I think it is still one game. Or at least Wolfire is making a game with Mojang. Oxeye might be making their own game.

[quinnr]

So basically it's "Throw us money so we can make a game for you in two days!"?

Are they going to keep updating these games and selling them after the fact? Even so, I'm not impressed by this bundle. Will pass.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Yeah it's one of those charity stunts, which while I have nothing against, doesn't really make me want to buy the bundle. Games developed in a weekend just won't have a lot of depth even with a large team (if anything that could slow down production).

Of course this bundle will still sell really well since there's people out there that will go OMG NOTCH and throw money at it. I threw a couple of bucks their way but it was really more for the charties rather than the bundle itself.

Originally I didn't think much of this, but as soon as I heard "Wolfire" I decided I can part with a dollar to see where it goes.

According to the page I got to after purchasing, Mojang has already released a build of "Catacomb Snatch" while Wolfire and Oxeye each have an "Unnamed Game" with no released builds.

Mojang is used to making updates that are nothing more than reskins and calling it a version.

HEYOOOOOOOOO

It's three separate games, for those who seem unsure.

I'm gonna toss $10 into the pot, simply because these things are to be encouraged.

[Ozyton]

Wolfire's game is called The Broadside Express, and from the short bits I've seen, you play as a giant war train/tank thing (it has treads like a tank so it needs no rails) and you shoot things using cannons on the sides of the cars and engine.

It's using a sort of pixel art style, which I like. It also (sort of) involves a bear and a cat.

EDIT: Oh, it has mecha spider things too

[Scelly9]

Sweet. That games sounds awesome.

QFT, and done

[Criptfeind]

Well. It seems finished (other then the Oxeye one)

The Wolfire one seems okay for a 60 hour game. Pretty, although very simple.

The Mojang one is very disappointing, even for a game that was only worked on for 60 hours. As far as I can see the idea of a RTS shoot um up in steam punk ancient Egypt was basically dropped to sorta-not-really shoot um up in what might possibly be called a ancient Egypt room with infinitely re spawning harmless 'enemies'.

I did not except much, but I got even less.

Couldn't agree more. Happy to donate to charity, but just don't give me false hope about a game. Mojang's game makes me concerned about Scrolls.

Your supposed to be able to build a train and guard towers in mojang's game but i havent figured out how yet..

[Itnetlolor]

To build the train, you have to slowly back into the other cars to link them up. They'll provide additional firepower support.

What I figured out so far: WSAD = Move, QE = Fire left/right cannons.

Have yet to figure out the rest.

Thats wolfire's game...

In Mojang's you build can tracks for some sort of minecarts and little guard posts.
