Once again patience pays off for the potential Humble Indie Bundle investor. The <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/31/voxatron-makes-its-humble-debut-in-pay-what-you-want-offer/">Humble Voxatron Debut</a> -- the latest bundle packing together an Alpha version of <em>Voxatron</em> along with <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/the-binding-of-isaac"><em>The Binding of Isaac</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/28/congratulations-to-the-2011-dream-build-play-winners/"><em>Blocks That Matter</em></a> -- has added yet another title to its ranks: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gish"><em>Gish</em></a>.<br />
<br />
But wait, there's more! <em>Chocolate Castle, Zen Puzzle Garden </em>and <em>Jasper's Journeys</em> have also been tossed in. And, as with previous <em>Humble</em> bundles, if you've already paid, you can download <em>Gish</em> and the others for free.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/10/humble-voxatron-debut-adds-gish-three-other-games/">Humble Voxatron Debut adds Gish, three other games</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:00:00 EST.

You may not be able to muster genuine surprise at the fact that the latest Humble Bundle has been upgraded with bonus games, but we're pretty sure the <em>delight</em> will be real.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/31/voxatron-makes-its-humble-debut-in-pay-what-you-want-offer/">Humble Voxatron Debut</a> is now a true "bundle," with <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/the-binding-of-isaac"><em>The Binding of Isaac</em></a> and Dream Build Play winner <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/28/congratulations-to-the-2011-dream-build-play-winners/"><em>Blocks that Matter </em></a>tossed in for all previous buyers and everyone who pays higher than the average. That's three great indie games for the price of <em>anything</em>.<br />
<br />
Though you're free to pay as little as you'd like, we'll remind you that this is first and foremost a charity drive. Keep that in mind when you're budgeting!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/02/humble-voxatron-debut-sweetened-with-blocks-that-matter-binding/">Humble Voxatron Debut sweetened with Blocks that Matter, Binding of Isaac</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:30:00 EST.
