14 DAY TRIAL // The latest Humble Weekly Sale brings (as usual) a number of tiny indie games at a great discount, and (again as usual) some of them are games that you might pass on, but there are also some that you shouldn't miss.
This week's offer includes famed designer Mike Bithell's Thomas Was Alone, a minimalistic puzzle platformer that has received numerous praises from both critics and players, as well as the Best Performer award at the 2013 BAFTA Video Games Awards for its great narration.
Next up we have Puzzle Bots, a silly puzzle game that has players taking control of minuscule robots that attempt to outwit various obstacles in their path to greatness, such as curious animals, mischievous children and a wacky inventor.
Dustforce is an acrobatic platformer that features a nimble janitor that has declared war on grime, allowing players to sweep their way through over fifty levels of double jumping and wall rebounding runs where they have to destroy as much dust as possible. Dustforce was the winner of the Grand Prize as the third Independent Game Developers Competition in 2010.
VVVVV is a retro-styled 2D platformer that explores a simple game mechanic, its protagonist's inability to jump, instead relying on reversing his gravity with the press of a button, and the game sets out to play with this mechanic in a variety of ways.
Closing the list of platformers is Cave Story+, a traditional metroidvania title with an emphasis on exploration and discovery, coming in an updated edition with improved graphics and new game modes.
The offers do not stop here, as gamers willing to pay above $6 / €4 for the bundle also unlock Reus, the captivating platformer Limbo, Cthulhu Saves the World, Mutant Mudds Deluxe, Lone Survivor and Elemnt4l.
Those who are willing to part with $10 / €7 or more will also unlock Teslagrad, a challenging and atmospheric platformer revolving around the wonderful powers of electricity and magnetism, where players take on the role of a little boy who must fight to liberate the kingdom from its oppressive ruler.
The bundle also comes with two exclusive offers, super contributors getting a TSG keychain and a Humble Bundle exclusive t-shirt for $40 / €30 or more, and those who want to get an overload of swag can opt to unlock the Mega Fangamer Swag Bag, with even more exclusive merchandise, for $100 / €75 or more.
