    The latest Indie Royale bundle is now available for the current minimum price of $5.68. The Hammerhead bundle includes Owl Cave's Richard & Alice, Primordia by Wormwood Studios, Pressure by Chasing Carrots, Forge by Dark Vale Games and Pandora Studios' Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage. The bundle seems immediately worthwhile to us just for the inclusion of Richard & Alice alone, per our recent review of the game. Those that pay at least $8 for the Hammerhead bundle will also receive MY OK BBS' chiptune album It's Not Great. There's also a mysterious sixth game in the bundle, likely to be revealed at a later time. The Indie Royale bundle is available on PC until June 7.

    Indie Royale is back once again with the Mayhem Bundle, featuring a "mix-up of anarchic indie games." As such, the games in the bundle include post-apocalyptic shooters, a zombie burner, a demonic child simulator and ... a Zen-like puzzle game. Okay, so most of the games seem to hit the mark. All in all, the bundle features Burn Zombie Burn, Lucius, Plain Sight, Alien Shooter 2: Concription, Primal Fear and – the puzzle game – Droplitz. There's also a mystery seventh game, but we don't know what it is – because it's a mystery. The current minimum price for the bundle is just over five bucks.

    A new Indie Royale bundle, called the Lunar Bundle, gathers several "out-of-this-world" indie gems, with an initial offering of four games and spots for three more to be added throughout the next six days of the promotion.Pid is first on the list, the puzzle-platformer about a lost boy stranded on a strange planet from ex-Grin folks at Might and Delight. It's joined by Cargo Commander, an action-platformer from Serious Brew, in which your goal is to loot expensive cargo in the alien-infested reaches of space. The final two are Telltale's Back to the Future, which takes place six months after the events of the third film in the series, and Dungeon Hearts, a hybrid strategy and pattern-matching affair from Technobabel.All four games are Windows and Mac OSX compatible, and available as Steam codes for those who pay the minimum asking price or above. Agreeing to pay $8 more for the bundle will net you an additional perk: the album Reawakening from C64/Amiga chiptune artist TDK.

    Continuing its tradition of following a theme for its bundles, the next Indie Royale gathers six up-and-coming Steam Greenlight games for consumption.Croixleur is a hack-and-slash affair from Japanese indie studio Souvenir Circ where players must battle through floors of progressively more difficult enemies; Goodhustle Studios Inc.'s Beast Boxing Turbo has you infiltrating a monster boxing league and punching lots of animals in first-person fashion; Dawnstar is a free-roaming space combat game from Wraith Entertainment where you're charged with bringing order to a sector ravaged by The Future Mob – or becoming the next big crime kingpin yourself; Battlepaths is Key17Games' loot-driven 2D-RPG; Out There Somewhere from Miniboss is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer; and Diehard Dungeon is a top-down roguelike from Tricktale thrusting players into randomly generated dungeons.Both Beast Boxing Turbo and Out There Somewhere are tossing in their soundtracks for this latest bundle, and naturally each of these games includes a Steam code if they make it through Greenlight. All games in the Debut 2 bundle are for Windows PC, though Beast Boxing Turbo and Dawnstar are also Mac-compatible.

    Before the holidays have you engorged to the point where the only game you can play is called nap, Indie Royale wanted to proposition you with a new tempting smorgasbord of indie games. The Indie Royale Stuffing Bundle groups together Dream Machine: Chapters 1-3, Puzzle Agent 2, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Children of the Nile and Adventure Apes and the Mayan Mystery. Dream Machine uses cardboard and clay to tell the story of Victor Neff and his wife who just moved into an apartment building that just isn't quite right. (Dream Machine is a five-part series, so keep in mind you won't get the entire award-winning point-and-click adventure experience in this bundle.) Puzzle Agent 2 is the 2011 sequel to Telltale Games' and Graham Annable's original adventure/puzzle outing and Pilot Program winner. Anomaly: Warzone Earth you've probably heard of since it's on every platform ever invented, while Adventure Apes and the Mayan Mystery is a Metroidvania game with lots of exploration. Finally, Children of the Nile is a city-building sim set in ancient Egypt – the Enhanced Edition is a Steam key, while the Desura/DRM-free code included in the bundle is based on the 2004 original, Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile.
