Once again patience pays off for the potential Humble Indie Bundle investor. The Humble Voxatron Debut -- the latest bundle packing together an Alpha version of Voxatron along with The Binding of Isaac and Blocks That Matter -- has added yet another title to its ranks: Gish.

But wait, there's more! Chocolate Castle, Zen Puzzle Garden and Jasper's Journeys have also been tossed in. And, as with previous Humble bundles, if you've already paid, you can download Gish and the others for free.

Humble Voxatron Debut sweetened with Blocks that Matter, Binding of Isaac

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 delight will be real.

The Humble Voxatron Debut is now a true "bundle," with The Binding of Isaac and Dream Build Play winner Blocks that Matter tossed in for all previous buyers and everyone who pays higher than the average. That's three great indie games for the price of anything.

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!

Voxatron makes its 'Humble Debut' in pay-what-you-want offer

JC Fletcher — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:30:00 EST

Can't wait to buy Lexaloffle's Voxatron? You don't have to! In fact, you don't even have to wait until the game's finished to buy it. The latest "Humble Indie Bundle" is called the Humble Voxatron Debut, and it's just that -- an alpha version of the voxel shooter, with a built-in level editor and access to all future updates.

Voxatron will cost $15 upon release, but if you get it through the bundle, it'll cost whatever you want to pay. Like all Humble games, it's Mac, Linux, and PC compatible, and proceeds go to the EFF and Child's Play in whatever proportion you want.

Voxatron promises all-cube, all-shooting action

JC Fletcher — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:20:00 EST

Did you like the look of 3D Dot Game Heroes, but wish it was applied to a different kind of old-school game? Lexaloffle Games' Voxatron is an arena shooter, sort of like Smash TV or (obviously) Robotron 2084, made entirely out of voxels, three-dimensional blocks -- including the score display!

In the trailer after the break, you can see that most of the voxel structures can be blasted into cubic chunks, bouncing around the stage. "I'm unsure how major the implications of destructibility will be for gameplay," Lexaloffle's Joseph White said in the blog post announcing Voxatron, "but it sure is fun to blast away pieces of wall. I've also added an experimental wall-building pickup you can use to construct barriers to hide from scary monsters."

Voxatron will be out this fall on PC, Mac and something else (the trailer just says "PC/Mac/+"). Voxel music man is ready. Are you?

[Thanks, Sam]
