Even though they're mostly crappy games, they're still free. I bet Akaneiro could potentially be worth it.

I think I played the demo/preview of Akaneiro a while back and something about it bugged me-- I think it was the leveling system or something because I want to say the version I played was micropay-based, though I hope they wouldn't do that in a for-pay release.

confounding.  ashen stars sounds great, but i hates me some gumshoe.  would have bought it long ago if not for the system.

it purports to "solve the problem with investigative games" wherein a failed roll deprives players of some clue and thus derails the plot.  in practice, it creates a situation where if you dont guess which skill is right for the scene then you're thowing points away.  youre punished for using abilities as each use makes them weaker by spending finite skill points.  and, unless youve been hoarding , youre going to be completely useless when it comes time for the climax.

all this could be fixed with a good  GM, but maybe a good GM wouldnt waste time with such a jacked system in the first place.

Humble Mobile 2 is out for more Android games. It seems mostly lackluster with the two "pay more than average" being the cream of this crop.

Star Command- a kickstarter that never delivered
Bloons- a tower defense, because those are so rare these days...
Carmageddon- an old classic
Ravensword- big 3d RPG world

New indieroyale out including:
Electronic Super Joy
March of the Eagles
Rigonauts
99 Spirits
Sengoku

I haven't bought the indieroyale in a long time but I'm picking up this one for the two Paradox games I've played the demo of but never got around to buying. They have a much smaller scope than the other Paradox titles but they might be a sound investment if you like the time periods.

TDs might not be rare, but Bloons is at least a decent one. Go look up any of them on armorgames or something if you're interested enough.

Probably a stupid question, but are the Humble Mobile 2s also Windows, and it says only Android to differentiate between, say, WP7/8, or entirely just Android? I seem to recall playing stuff from the first bundle despite not having any Android devices.

Star command is actually pretty fun, but it's really buggy for me. First, the music went away, then the sound effects, then the saves :V

I think you can download some Android emulators for computer. I tried that a while back but unfortunately it gave me blue screens. Also, I am not entirely sure it was for Android (terrible memory), but there should be SOME solution?

There is a windows button if you can play it on windows. Otherwise, it is just Android.

Mobile
Android


Humble Weekly is Kalypso stuff- Tropico 3 and 4, Jagged Alliance, Sine Mora, Sky Drift, and Anna. Just pay the $6. Tropico 4 is a better 3.

If you've got an Android phone, I would definitely recommend the mobile bundle. Carmageddon works great with touch controls. Punch Quest is quite fun, but my phone is just a little too low-spec for it. I get some pretty bad slowdown.

I'm waiting for some of the others to download. By far the worst part of the mobile bundles is their app.

Is it only me or is wrecking other drivers in Carmageddon easier than actually finishing the race?

Given many of the races are near impossible death races...

Yeah it is.
