:/
I already have all Introversion games except Multiwinia and Subversion.
My favourite game of the voxatron bundle so far is Blocks That Matter. I just love all the references to other games, as well as the gameplay itself.
Second is Voxatron (which is the only one I completed). Gish I already had.
Chocolate castle and Zen puzzle garden are fun and cute puzzle games.
The Binding of Isaac seems a bit boring, despite the completely crazy intro and weird objects (which never tell you what they do :/ ). The enemies just seem too easy to beat, even though I haven't finished the game yet. I especially do not like not being able to save... and random dungeons...
Jasper's journey I haven't played much yet, but looks like a standard platformer.

Rah, need to register to comment. So I'll just comment here:
I would have added emulators (zsnes, dosbox&co), some engines like ScummVM or [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Game_Studio']Adventure Game Studio[/URL] (official site seems to be down at the moment :( ), as well as gog.com (although I never used it because I still prefer to buy native games) to make it a bit more complete. :)
edit: Oh, and PlayOnLinux.
P.S.: Are there any problems with steamguard and creating a new steam installation for separate steam games? Because that's what PlayOnLinux seems to do. I haven't really used it much yet, except for installing steam and starcraft. I don't want Valve to think I'm sharing my account with multiple users...

The game crashes for me before I even have time to enter my login credentials, but their website is having problems at the moment, so I hope it is related to that.

I am perfectly happy with you continuing using the GPLed DarkPlaces engine. ;)
I would have preferred well designed levels and a good story, even if it's linear... :/
Oh well, still looking forward to what comes out of it. :)

Ok, after a lot of trial and error, I figured out why I couldn't see the button.
It was because of NoScript. But that is not all:
Even with the default NoScript settings and all scripts allowed, the "buy" button is not visible!
To see the "buy" button, it is necessary to uncheck the "Clean suspicious internet requests" box in "advanced->XSS" (translated strings, so maybe not exactly the same in English).
I think that's quite a big problem since most NoScript users won't even see the button. :/
I also tried the site in Chromium and there it also behaves a bit strangely:
The website loads correctly with the button, but when clicking it:
1) A new tab opens and it shortly displays "uploading..." in the status bar until the paypal page appears (probably perfectly normal, but not very reassuring)
2) If I close the paypal tab and click the button again, nothing happens. (If I leave the paypal tab open and click the buy button again, it reloads the paypal page.)
The button code (slightly formatted) according to my understanding:

Or maybe I'm just too tired.
Also, I remember the game being open-source. What is the current status?

Quoting: "Rustybolts, post: 2402"Cheers for the article. For those that dont want to be tied to 1 distro you can purchase the full game from our website for Windows and Linux until its available from other stores.Mmh, where exactly is the "buy" button? O.o

Kot-in-Action creators of Steel Storm Interview!

It was interesting to finally get a little bit of insight on how the HIB money is split between devs, notably the bonus games.
They added a slider to choose how much you want to give to the HIB2 games, but not for Steel Storm if I remember correctly. :/
As for Gameolith sales being low: I think it also has to do with the fact that the game was out for a while before Gameolith started, and then there was the HIB. So most people interested in the game probably already had it.

Desura to launch a closed Linux Beta!

I'm in as well now. :)
Redeemed all my humble bundle desura keys, except HIB1, which didn't have any unfortunately.
Most HIB games seem to work, except a few like "Machinarium" and "Revenge of the titans" which crash Desura.
I also tried Urban terror, which worked without any issues.
So overall, very satisfied and very happy. :)

I find the partner link through "Community->Developers->Become a partner/Interested? Apply to be a Gameolith Partner now". But yes, it could be better. And the "developers" link could be on the main page directly.
Security wise, I found 2 things that bothered me:
-No SSL everywhere yet ([URL='https://gameolith.uservoice.com/forums/115365-suggestions-box/suggestions/2054505-ssl-https-support']but they are working on it[/URL])
-I get a clickjacking alert with noscript when trying to fill out the partner form! From what I understand it's because they somehow embed a [URL='https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dDlTbnFDLUZNQVdPZjRjMHc4WXR0ekE6MQ&ndplr=1']google spreadsheet [/URL]form into the website. I usually allow scripts quite quickly on websites to get them to work correctly, but I'm always alarmed whenever I get cross-site scripting or clickjacking warnings from noscript.
I haven't bought anything from gameolith yet (having just bought the HIB3 recently), but I'm looking forward to it. :)
2) An e-mail address. You really need to provide a way for interested developers to contact you if they have questions. If you don't want to post an e-mail address publicly, then at least provide a contact form.They have a contact form if you click on "Support" at the bottom of the page and then "Contact us".
