This package has 6 or 7 good indie games for $20, which is a pretty good deal, considering Aquaria is $19.95 on its own. I'll probably be picking this up tonight, even though I already own 3 of these games, but the remaining ones are still cheaper than buying individually. Anyone else interested in this?

Awesome deal! Too bad none of them look interesting enough to me to buy the whole package though. This is the second awesome sale they've had!

Yah, I haven't heard of one of the games, but the others looked decent enough for me to consider them at one point or another. Aquaria was programmed by a friend and former co-worker of mine, so I'm biased toward that. Crayon Physics was very original at the time, and has spawned numerous rip-offs. I considered Project: Aftermath when it came out because I love indie RTS', but didn't want to pay $15. Now for all these together I can't resist, because I'm a sucker for indie game sales

Thanks for posting this Jeku! I've always wanted to get Aquaria, it looks like such a beautiful game. Have you tried out any of the others yet? Acceleration of Suguri looks like an interesting take on fighters, but I can't find any information about it.

@BearCDP2 - I've tried the AaaAaaAaa game, which is interesting to say the least. It's actually pretty tricky to do well Aquaria seems to have one of the highest production values for an indie 2D game I've ever seen. Crayon Physics is *amazing*, and a very unique idea. Those are the only 3 I have tried so far, but I think those 3 alone make the price more than worth it.

Crayon Physics is loads of fun, really makes you think. It's REALLY fun when you actually have a digital drawing pad. I've heard of most of these games, I am considering buying this pack because most of them are loads of fun. Thanks for sharing.

Aquaria reminds me a little of Echo the dolphin. I-Fluid looks cool.

I loved the dialogue and music in Aquaria. Probably one of my top three indie favs.

Well I'm sold then, just downloaded it. Is Direct2Drive Windows only? I thought that Aquaria had an OS X version available.

[EDIT] Although, if it's a nasty port with an emulation layer on top of it, definitely do not want--that's what boot camp is for.
