There's always some unrevealed bonus games. Back in Voxatron, someone figured out how to find out what the bonus games are.

@Gibbeynator I would not be surprised if this one doesn't have any bonus games since they already announced the "pay more than average" games up front. That being said I would not be surprised if they do add more as well.

Well, I may not be psychic, but I'm good at pattern recognition. In Bundle 2, they gave the first bundle to anyone who beat the average. They did the same for 3. They're probably going to do it again here. Plus, they gave out the beat-the-average games for Introversion, and then added ANOTHER beat-the-average game.

Introversion had the pay above average bundles upfront, and then added Dredmor later.

I'm betting there will be more added later on.

Now I feel bad for paying $5 for the latest Indie Royale bundle (with no charity support and lame games).

I only purchased their first bundle which was even a little eh. Their system sucks considering no charity is involved and the games are usually meh or have been discounted heavily already. Seems devs that sign up for IndieRoyale would be better off just discounting their game on Steam itself since they'd get more exposure that way anyway.

I guess there's a reason why they barely break 30k at best and humble bundle is always over 100k++

Thanks for the heads up Joystiq. Just plunkered 4.71 to charity and the developers.

Once upon a time, Super Meat Boy was rumored to be headed to PSN. How long has that been squashed?

Same here. I feel burned in a way because I own EVERY game except Cave Story, but I can't not do this.

Sounds like an interesting lineup for this one, although I already own Jamestown, and can't stand Meat Boy.

Wow, here I thought they couldn't possibly bundle better games than in the past. They got my biggest donation yet. Keep up the good work guys.

I really wish they could work with Valve to get some Steam Gift support. Each time I buy a bundle, I already own at least one or two games offered. This time, it was three. At least if they had gift support, I could give away the my extra copies.

Or, just buy another bundle as a gift...

I understand what you're saying but it's not like this isn't for charity or name your own price already...

That sale is nearly pornographic. I barely have enough money for groceries at the moment and donated as much as I could.

The mac version of Nightsky is also new. I believe Linux too. I have been waiting for this version for SO FREAKING LONG. Cannot wait to play it tonight after my molecular biology final tonight!

Wow some of these games are easily worth the average price alone, let alone together. Maybe its because I grew up in the NES/SNES era, but Super Meat Boy, Cave Story and Jamestown are all ridiculously good.

I was actually going to buy Cave Story on the DS shop today (but was lazy), so seeing it in this bundle was serendipitous! And I paid more than my average to the developers solely because a Philly-based gamehouse is part of it (gotta represent for my hometown!).

I shouldn't've checked out with Google wallet, though...still haven't gotten my Humble Bundle redemption email, and with Paypal it's usually instant :/

Think can safely say Humble Indie is by far superior to Indie Royale, and that's even without the fact it gives money to charity.

I never thought they'd top the 2nd bundle, but then have.

Have bought the 2nd bundle, Frozenbyte bundle (and found the amazing Trine - worth it for that alone) and now this 4th bundle. Had exams over past few months so couldn't justify getting the 3rd as the list of games needing played just kept climbing.

Already have Bit Trip Runner for Wii and Nightsky from last Indie Royale bundle, but still worth it for Cave Story and Super Meat Boy which I would have probably both got on Steam Christmas sales anyway.

Wow this bundle is going up fast, and I can see why! I too skipped the last few bundles and was thinking that humble was going downhill (with much disappointment since it had a spectacular start), but I was so wrong. Snapped this one faster than any of their other bundles. Now I'm glad I didn't already pick up Super Meat Boy on XBLA.

Yay for Mac Jamestown! I bought it for Steam, and have strongly lamented its inability to play nice in emulation.. Weird for such a simple-seeming game. Now I shall give them more moneys.

Super Meat Boy alone is worth more than the minimum cost of this bundle and I think it's the 3rd liscence of SMB I have.
