Indie Royale is back once again with the Mayhem Bundle, featuring a "mix-up of anarchic indie games." As such, the games in the bundle include post-apocalyptic shooters, a zombie burner, a demonic child simulator and ... a Zen-like puzzle game. Okay, so most of the games seem to hit the mark.

All in all, the bundle features Burn Zombie Burn, Lucius, Plain Sight, Alien Shooter 2: Concription, Primal Fear and - the puzzle game - Droplitz. There's also a mystery seventh game, but we don't know what it is - because it's a mystery. The current minimum price for the bundle is just over five bucks.

A new Indie Royale bundle, called the Lunar Bundle, gathers several "out-of-this-world" indie gems, with an initial offering of four games and spots for three more to be added throughout the next six days of the promotion.

Pid is first on the list, the puzzle-platformer about a lost boy stranded on a strange planet from ex-Grin folks at Might and Delight. It's joined by Cargo Commander, an action-platformer from Serious Brew, in which your goal is to loot expensive cargo in the alien-infested reaches of space. The final two are Telltale's Back to the Future, which takes place six months after the events of the third film in the series, and Dungeon Hearts, a hybrid strategy and pattern-matching affair from Technobabel.

All four games are Windows and Mac OSX compatible, and available as Steam codes for those who pay the minimum asking price or above. Agreeing to pay $8 more for the bundle will net you an additional perk: the album Reawakening from C64/Amiga chiptune artist TDK.

Continuing its tradition of following a theme for its bundles, the next Indie Royale gathers six up-and-coming Steam Greenlight games for consumption.

Croixleur is a hack-and-slash affair from Japanese indie studio Souvenir Circ where players must battle through floors of progressively more difficult enemies; Goodhustle Studios Inc.'s Beast Boxing Turbo has you infiltrating a monster boxing league and punching lots of animals in first-person fashion; Dawnstar is a free-roaming space combat game from Wraith Entertainment where you're charged with bringing order to a sector ravaged by The Future Mob - or becoming the next big crime kingpin yourself; Battlepaths is Key17Games' loot-driven 2D-RPG; Out There Somewhere from Miniboss is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer; and Diehard Dungeon is a top-down roguelike from Tricktale thrusting players into randomly generated dungeons.

Both Beast Boxing Turbo and Out There Somewhere are tossing in their soundtracks for this latest bundle, and naturally each of these games includes a Steam code if they make it through Greenlight. All games in the Debut 2 bundle are for Windows PC, though Beast Boxing Turbo and Dawnstar are also Mac-compatible.

Nothing says "I love you, baby" quite like making some massive beasties go boom, which is why Serious Sam 3: BFE is headlining today's Indie Royale Valentine's Bundle 2.0. Also feeling the love are Shad'O, Oozi: Earth Adventure, Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time, Lunnye Devitsy 2013 and Wake.

Included in the purchase price (which is "whatever you choose above the super-cheap minimum") are soundtracks for Shad'O, Oozi, Lunnye Devitsy and Wake, and a wallpaper for Doc Clock. Pay $8 or more (still within the "super cheap" range) and snag the Slipstream Vol. 2 64-bit digital remix album from Cold Storage. Check out all the sweet stuff at Indie Royale.

The "Evolved" bundle, which throws in a few soundtracks and some additional DLC if you pay a few bucks more, also contains The Path, a horror game for PC and Mac inspired by the classic tale Little Red Riding Hood.

Fatshark's Krater, a post-apocalyptic dungeon crawler in which Swedish adventurers scavenge for goods from the lost world, is sandwiched in the middle of this group. You'll also get Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory, a 2D platformer about a sentient sugar cube escaping a cookie-bound fate, OIO, a platform-puzzler starring a wooden boy who must save his kind from a frozen state.

Indie Royale's "Evolved" bundle will be around for the next week and, as of the time of this writing, has already moved 10,000 bundles.

The Indie Royale Snow Storm Bundle offers six games for cheap: Resonance, Hinterland, RoboBlitz, StarDrone, Project Aftermath and RobotRiot. Combine them all and you'd get a futuristic, scientific robopocalypse RPG mystery in space, and it's as cheap as $5, if you get in fast.

The Snow Storm Bundle comes with the original soundtracks for Hinterland, RoboBlitz, StarDrone and RobotRiot when you pay the minimum, and for $8 or more you get the Planeteri album from Pixeljam. All of the games except for StarDrone and RobotRiot come with Steam PC keys, and none of these games are compatible with Mac. The Pixeljam album, however, comes with an executable for PC and Mac that provides visualizations for any song you hook up to it.

Indie Royale debuts the Replay Bundle Vol. 1 today, starring such games as Nuclear Dawn, Gemini Rue, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Soulcaster and Soulcaster 2. Every good bundle needs some hot freebies on the side, and this one comes with the soundtracks for Soulcaster 1 and 2, the remix soundtrack for Soulcaster 2, and six bits of DLC for Defense Grid: the Borderlands DLC, Resurgence map packs 1 - 4, and the Portal-infused "You Monster" DLC. These extra goodies are only available on Steam.

Indie Royale has consumers pay anything they want over the minimum price, but those who pay more than $8 get the 8 Bit Weapon Collection, a 56-track album covering a decade of music from 8 Bit Weapon and ComputeHer. If they were to make a new song, we assume it would be called "Every Day I'm Bundlin'."

Where once it was the bundles Santa carried in his sleigh, now it's video game consoles and downloadable game bundles. Enter the Indie Royale Winter Bundle, which packs together six indie PC titles for one (currently) low price.

The bundle includes Bit.Trip Runner, Greed Corp, Hamlet, Leave Home, Conquest of Elysium 3 and They Breathe. Mac and Linux downloads are also available for Bit.Trip Runner and Conquest of Elysium 3.

As of this writing, the bundle is still under $5, though the price goes up as more people buy. Those who pay at least $8 also get a download of the jazzy chiptune album Bluescreen by Protodome. Not a bad deal, especially if you've misplaced the copy of Bit.Trip Runner you got with the last indie bundle you purchased.

Before the holidays have you engorged to the point where the only game you can play is called nap, Indie Royale wanted to proposition you with a new tempting smorgasbord of indie games. The Indie Royale Stuffing Bundle groups together Dream Machine: Chapters 1-3, Puzzle Agent 2, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Children of the Nile and Adventure Apes and the Mayan Mystery.

Dream Machine uses cardboard and clay to tell the story of Victor Neff and his wife who just moved into an apartment building that just isn't quite right. (Dream Machine is a five-part series, so keep in mind you won't get the entire award-winning point-and-click adventure experience in this bundle.) Puzzle Agent 2 is the 2011 sequel to Telltale Games' and Graham Annable's original adventure/puzzle outing and Pilot Program winner.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth you've probably heard of since it's on every platform ever invented, while Adventure Apes and the Mayan Mystery is a Metroidvania game with lots of exploration. Finally, Children of the Nile is a city-building sim set in ancient Egypt - the Enhanced Edition is a Steam key, while the Desura/DRM-free code included in the bundle is based on the 2004 original, Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile.

The Humble Android and Indie Royale Harvest bundles both go live today, for double the wallet-friendly, finger-happy goodness. First, the Humble Android Bundle:

The fourth installment in the Humble Android series brings Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP to Android for the first time, in beta form (Capy warns in a tweet that it still has some kinks to work out for Android). Also bundled are Splice, Eufloria, Waking Mars and Crayon Physics Deluxe. Pay more than the average and snag Machinarium on Android as well.

All games in the Humble Android Bundle come in PC, Mac and Linux form as well, and they all include official soundtracks. Pay at least $1 and get a Steam key for each game, excluding Waking Mars (which is on Steam Greenlight). All Humble Indie Bundles benefit Child's Play Charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, but of course customers are able to portion out their payment however they see fit.

Now on to the Indie Royale Harvest Bundle:

This fall, indie is in - the Harvest Bundle includes Mutant Mudds, Pineapple Smash Crew, Spirits, Avernum: The Great Trials Trilogy and BasketBelle. All purchases come with the BasketBelle soundtrack and digital sketchbook, and the Spirits soundtrack. Those who spend more than $8 get a bonus chiptune music album from Data Airlines.

Pineapple Smash Crew, Spirits and Avernum: The Great Trials Trilogy are available for Steam, while Mutant Mudds and BasketBelle are on Desura. Check the Harvest Bundle page for complete platform details for each game, or watch the bundle video below.

Happy cheap indie game day, everyone!

The Indie Royale Fall Bundle is here, and it's transformed into an 80s sitcom, if the above trailer is anything to judge by. The Fall Bundle includes To the Moon, Oil Rush, Blackwell Deception, AVSEQ and Reprisal, with special guest appearances by Nancy McKeon. The bundle also includes the soundtracks for Oil Rush and Reprisal, and by paying $8 or more buyers get the album 88:88 by Makeup and Vanity Set, a synthetic, chiptune band from Nashville.

Oil Rush, AVSEQ and Reprisal are PC and Mac, and all games except for Reprisal will activate directly on Steam. Head on over to the Indie Royale Fall Bundle to grab some great games on the cheap and possibly learn some facts of life.

Throwing down seven clams or more will also earn you 8 Bit Weapon's new chiptune album, Bits with Byte.

By our rough guesstimation, the June Bug Bundle is the 400 trillionth Indie Royale bundle released to date, which means that longtime patrons of the service probably have a rather large notepad file somewhere to keep track of all their bundle business. Thankfully, a new service (the Indie Royale Collection) has launched that not only helps manage your previously purchased bundles, but also lets you track your progress towards earning new rewards, which are applied retroactively (where applicable) upon registering.

This time around, the great MOBA/RPG mashup Dungeon Defenders is included in the bunch, along with Containment: The Zombie Puzzler (which is of course a zombie puzzler), abstract arcade racer Data Jammers: FastForward, trippy falling game Brainpipe, and the indie space sim sequel Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space.

All of these can currently be had for the minimum price of $5.28, but as always that price will fall if anyone comes along and pays above it. There are also a few extras already unlocked, including a couple of original soundtracks, extra tracks for Data Jammers, and two extra games: Dr. Blob's Organism and Soup du Jour. Anyone paying over $7 also gets an album from chiptune band Starscream. In short, that's more games than you have time to play, all for less than you'll pay to see The Avengers this weekend. The bundle's up for sale for the next week.

Buyers who shell out more than $5 will get a chiptune music bonus in the form of Danimal Cannon's Roots album.

As usual for Indie Royale bundles, paying more than the minimum brings the price down for future buyers. There's the rest of today and six more days left to buy the Spring Bundle, and the current minimum is hovering around $4.20, which is pretty ridiculous for six entire games.

NinjaBee is probably most known as a developer for Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service, but this bundle includes PC versions of its biggest games, including the recent Ancients of Ooga puzzle platformer, XBLA classic Cloning Clyde, sandbox builder A Kingdom for Keflings, space station simulator Outpost Kaloki, and a bonus title, the strategy RPG Band of Bugs.

That's a solid oeuvre for sure, and at the current bundle price of $3.44 (remember, these indie bundles raise in price over time, or go back down if someone kindly pays over the minimum), it's an excellent deal as well. As is usual with these things, all of the titles are DRM-free, but they're only available for a limited time -- the Ninja Bee bundle will end in just a few days.

Then the dragon killed the princess and the handsome prince married the ugly gold-digger. The End.

OK, not "the end" -- Flying Wild Hog has announced that Extended Edition is coming to Steam for free for those who already own Hard Reset, and will be available for download in the final week of April or first week of May. Hard Reset is available in the Indie Royale St. Patrick's Day bundle for a few more hours, for those who want Hard Reset: Extended Edition and three other indie titles for less than $5.

It gets better, is what we're saying.

Indie Royale has opened pre-orders, at a $4 minimum, for four slightly mysterious titles in its St. Patrick's Day bundle, the actual day of which is Saturday, March 17. If you plan on being even a tad sober any time on Saturday, the games are teased as follows:

"An explosive FPS with a future-leaning setting," "next up the flagpole is a jaunty Windows and Mac adventure game," "a brainy Steam-enabled Windows and Mac title 'dispensing' RTS action," "an acclaimed satirical platformer, plus a bonus DRM-free Windows RPG overhead shooter from the same creator."

Pre-orders and those who pay over the minimum once the bundle is released will get O.S.T.: Original Soundtrack from Daniel Capo.

This may sound like a contradiction -- underground developers borrowing mainstream methods -- but in fact it somehow makes this bundle even more indie.

The Alpha Collection, offered now through the next week, features three games in alpha mode, and "buying" the bundle is a way of "funding" their continued development while getting access to their current builds. Similar to backing a Kickstarter project, The Alpha Collection has people invest in the potential of the following three games: Towns, 3079 and Wyv and Keep.

The low price for the Alpha Collection is hovering slightly above $5, the recommended price is $10 and the "Show Support" price is listed at $20, but of course you can pay any amount above the low price if you believe the future of these games is worth it. As with all Indie Royale bundles, the more you pay, the less the people after you will pay. It's like 360-degree charity.

On this one, paying either the minimum price (currently just above $4) or above will net you five different indie titles: The impressive FPS (and IndieCade finalist) Zeno Clash, the excellent and underrated Hoard, the gorgeous adventure title Lume, and top-down puzzle crawler Soulcaster and its sequel. Plus, buyers also get both Hoard DLC packs, and anyone who pays higher than the minimum will pick up the "Music to Play Games by Too" compilation album.

Remember, the way the bundle works is that the price goes up as more people buy the bundle, but it drops when people spend more than the minimum (so giving more actually makes it cheaper for everyone, and supports the game's developers as well). Purchased titles are available on both Steam and Desura, and the bundle is on sale through Valentine's Day.

You know who you are.

Indie Royale is offering its Valentine's Bundle for pre-order at the lowest minimum price, $3.99, but is keeping the games a mystery until the big day itself. If you live life on the edge, don't read the following clues before buying the bundle:

"The games offered this time include a fantastical first-person action-adventure game (Steam for PC), an IGF-nominated puzzle adventure title (Steam for PC and Mac, Desura for PC and Linux, DRM-free PC, Mac and Linux download), a 'scorching' single and multiplayer arcade-strategy game (Steam for PC and Mac), and a world premiere on PC for a pair of retro RPG-defense games (Desura for PC, DRM-free PC download)," Indie Royale writes. On its Facebook page it added, "None of these titles have been in previous standalone indie game bundles such as Humble, etcetera!"

Pre-orders will receive the Valentine's Bundle the moment it launches, along with One Life Left's "Music to Play Games by Too."

The Indie Royale lightning deal includes Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Serious Sam Double D, Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack, The First and Second Encounter and the world premiere of Serious Sam: The Greek Encounter, an 8-bit top-down demake.

These indie homages to Serious Sam launched alongside Serious Sam 3: BFE last year, each taking a different approach to revamping the franchise. The Indie Royale lightning deal marks Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack's premiere on PC, previously being a mobile title. As with all Indie Royale deals, the earlier you buy, the cheaper the minimum price -- although people paying more than the minimum can bring down the price for everyone.

The New Year's Bundle was released as a mystery earlier this week and was available for blind pre-order at $3.99, with a free copy of George & Jonathan's chiptune album, "Beautiful Lifestyle," for faithful early buyers.

Indie Royale bundles increase in price as the sale continues, but paying more than the minimum knocks that price down and gets you a free copy of George & Jonathan's chiptune goodness to boot. There are just under five days left to snag the Indie Royale New Year's Eve Bundle -- and don't judge it for celebrating the new year one week late. We know some of you are still feeling the annual effects of the new year, too.

The trick is that you won't know what you're pre-ordering. It's a "blind pre-order," with only descriptions of the available games given. The identity of the games will be revealed sometime later this week.

"We first started the blind pre-order for Indie Royale for two reasons," Indie Royale co-founder Simon Carless told Joystiq. "Firstly, we did it because the popularity of Indie Royale was crushing our website when we launched, thanks to the 'ascending price' model - although we've improved our systems a lot since then! And secondly, because the price is variable for the bundle, we found our users were stressed about being in front of a computer when the bundle launched." Also, Carless added, "We find that some people have fun guessing the games in the bundle! More power to them!"

The "Xmas Bundle" nets its purchasers six games for the price of ... well, a street vendor hot dog -- there's the remastered Blackwell Trilogy (which is technically three games, right?), the Source-powered Dino D-Day, the topical sim The Oil Blue and the effortlessly delightful Eets.

The whole bundle's currently available (at the time of this writing) for $3.80 -- a price which will increase as time goes on, but decrease if purchasers pay more than the minimum amount. Act fast! Or, for our sakes, act charitable.

A bit of quantity and quality, you know? And the Indie Royale folks must know what they're doing -- Gamasutra reports the first two bundles have moved over 350,000 games across 70,000 total bundle sales.

Within The Really Big Bundle, you'll be able to grab headliner Really Big Sky and a pair of Zeboyd games (from the guys bringing back Penny Arcade Adventures) namely Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII. Rounding out the final two columns in this pentagon of parsimony is Runespell: Overture and Eufloria.

It just went up a penny as we were typing this.

As with previous Indie Royale bundles, the price rises as people purchase it (and decreases as people pay over the average), so while it's an incredible deal right now (NightSky alone is normally $10, and the bundle's under $3.50 as we write), who knows if that will still hold by the end of, say, this sentence? But no pressure.

The first "Indie Royale" bundle offers four games for a limited time: first-person tower defense blend-em-up Sanctum; Nimbus, a 2.5D platformer; side-scrolling shooter A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda; and Gemini Rue, neo-noir adventure game set on a distant planet. With the exception of Gemini Rue, all are available through Steam, and most can also be downloaded via Desura. [Update: Gemini Rue is now on Steam too.]

The bundle's price at the time of writing is $2.49, and it can be influenced in two major ways. The price rises as more people purchase it, rewarding early adopters with a tinier price tag. However, the price can also be lowered if you pay above the minimum. Venturing above the required cost will not only save everyone else money, but your magnanimity will put you on a competitive leaderboard of very nice people.

Why don't you go ahead and show us your magnificent altruism? We'll get the next one.

[Thanks, Kent.]
