This seems to be indie bundle season. First we had the\u00a0IndieFort Championship Bundle<\/a><\/em>, with some nice sci-fi titles in it. Now, almost in a row two new indie bundles were announced, these last two with a flexible pricing scheme where you literally pay what you want. And, you can decide to divert some of that money to charity as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first of these new indie bundles is Bundle In A Box: Deep Space<\/a><\/em>, and contains five space-based games, with a bonus batch of three other games if you choose to pay more than the average spent on the bundle so far. Plus some other extras that get unlocked for everybody when certain sales numbers are achieved.<\/p>\n

The space-themed games included in Bundle in a Box<\/a>\u00a0are: Space Giraffe<\/strong>,\u00a0an action arcade shooter style game; a\u00a0Star Wars:\u00a0TIE fighter inspired space-combat\u00a0sim The Wreckless<\/strong>,\u00a0a psychedelic arena shooter called\u00a0Death Ray Manta;\u00a0<\/strong>the RPG\/adventure\u00a0Dark Scavenger<\/strong>\u00a0and the shoot-’em-up\u00a0Armalyte<\/strong>. I have no first hand info to give you on any of these games unfortunately. On the bonus batch there’s the space shooter\u00a0SOL: Exodus<\/strong>, which we covered here on SpaceSector<\/a>; the\u00a0fast-paced arcade game\u00a0Miner Wars Arena<\/strong> and\u00a0the galactic action platformer RobotRiot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second bundle is The Humble Bundle #6<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0contains six games from which three titles are sci-fi themed. The sci-fi games are: the action platformer Rochard<\/strong>;\u00a0the action-strategy space RPG\u00a0Space Pirates And Zombies<\/strong>\u00a0(which we have a review<\/a>!) and the steampunk puzzle platformer Vessel<\/strong>. All games in this bundle are said to be compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.<\/p>\n

All the games on these two bundles are DRM-free, meaning you can just download, install and go with no need for third-party tools or online verification methods. Both bundles also support charity, where in\u00a0The Humble Bundle<\/em> you can even choose how much of your money goes to charity, to the developers or the Humble\u00a0Bundle system itself.<\/p>\n

It’s always time to support the indies! Specially when you can set your price ;) Space Pirates and Zombies seems to be a good bet<\/a>, if you happen to like action-strategy RPG games that is. Unfortunately we don’t have any first-hand information (first impressions or reviews) on any of the other titles at this moment.<\/p>\n
