Four Humble Bundle favourites – Anomaly: Warzone Earth, EDGE, Osmos and World of Goo – have been added in as bonus content in the latest indie package. If you’ve already purchased the latest Humble Bundle, the extra games are automatically added to your account for download – and if you haven’t, you can get on that here. As ever, proceeds go to indie developers and charitable causes at your discretion, you pay what you want, and all games are cross-platform and DRM free – even on your Android device.

With the latest offering, the Humble Bundle has expanded its cross-platform philosophy even further, opening the scheme to Android users.

2D Boy’s puzzler World of Goo has been released on the Android Market, and from now until December 5, the game is 40% off and will only run you $2.99. 2D Boys has said the game will run on the majority of devices running Android 2.2 or newer; however, since there are devices out there of “varying capabilities”, it recommends users try the demo first. OpenFeint has also been integrated into the game for those who like to post achievements. Thanks, IndieGames.

A few little bits and bobs from here and there, lovingly condensed just for you. No really – you.

2DBoy’s gone live with yet more stats from its well-judged pay-what-you-like World of Goo offer, this time showing how the average amount people spent on the game rose and fell with time.

There’s also a table there showing which countries were the most generous. Switzerland was most ready with its wonga, Turkey the least.

Following 2D Boy deciding to offer World of Goo for any price punters wanted to pay, the game’s shifted an extra 57,000 units according to this RPS piece.

There’s an awesome graph through there showing exactly how people people paid what. Basically, Mr Boy is now significantly better off.

Mastertronic Group has launched a new label for indie titles called Great Indie Games and the first game to make the cut is World of Goo, slated for a July release.

Great Indie Games will bring independent games to retail to gain a wider audience than just through digital distribution, where most indie titles are offered.

“We are on the look out for more indie developed games, so any developers who want their game sold at retail should get in touch with us,” said Mastertronic’s managing director Andy Payne.

“With the many and varied PC games offerings out there, casual or otherwise, there is a place for great games that have been produced on a lower budget than normal by small development teams.”

Other games are to be announced at a later date.
