Hope this doesn't look like spam, but even if it does, it's worth it.
World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra, all for what you want to pay, and part of it is sent to charity. You can pick how much.

Please check it out. :)

I already own World of Goo, and I can recommend getting this bundle for that game alone. Absolutely brilliant. :)

Same. I got it for Gish and Aquaria, always wanted the full versions of those two.

Gish is a brilliant game. There could be an entire rich sub-genre of physics-based platformers such as this.

Well I decided to buy it yesterday. Payed $50 for six games, of which I already own one. If I like at least three of the remaining five, I'll consider it a good purchase :)

For those that are considering it: Only 10 hours left!

Windows users are twice as tight as their Linux counterparts it seems :D

I approve enough of this model that I've gone and put down 20 dollars, mainly because I already own 2 of them. It's a great initiative though :)

I don't understand, how could this bundle be so successful without DRMs and $59.99 price tags?!!

I tried World of Goo a couple of days ago. It's quite funny. But I think pontifex bridge builder (both I and II) are a lot better and more challenging. Same idea, but a more professional approach. You have to build (design) a different bridge for each level. even draw bridges are included. If you think your design is ready it will simulate a train and or cars driving over it and if they make it across you pass, if not you will see the bridge fail in a realistic way.

I tried pontifex, and gave up. It's a lot more simulation than game. Of course, if the idea of simulating bridges is fun, then pontifex is the one to try.

The initial levels of World of Goo are somewhat similar to bridge builder, but the later levels have a lot more variation, with Goo that can burn, ones that you cannot pick up but have to jump, exploding bits of level, balloons to prop up structures, goo that can only attach once (so they can only make chains), etc.

I enjoyed the original Bridge Builder a lot, but never tried the later "Pontifex" games

Interesting, since we're supposed to be freeloaders :). (Recognize the cute little fella in my avatar?)
