If you are looking for a way to survive the summer heat but big budget games are too expensive, then you may be in luck, because Indie Royale has just announced a new Summer Bundle.
8 games are part of this bundle, and include Harvest: Massive Encounter, The Journey Down: Chapter 1, a re-release of Serious Sam 2, all three games from Gundemonium Trilogy, Dino Run SE, Acceleration of Suguri X-Edition, and as a bonus you will receive a beta-key to receive "Fleur de Lis" pet for AirMech. Also worth noting is that if you pay $8 for the whole bundle, you will receive Pixeljams Volume 1, which is a compilation of tunes from several electronic artists.
As of this posting, the cost of the Summer Bundle is $5.61, but will increase in price until the sale ends July 10.

STAY COOL AS THE TEMPERATURE RISES WITH THE NEW
INDIE ROYALE SUMMER BUNDLE
SAN FRANCISCO – July 2, 2012 – The Indie Royale game bundle site (www.indieroyale.com) tempts you to stay inside during the warm summer months with the Summer Bundle, featuring eight brilliant independent games available at a bargain. As with other Indie Royale bundles, the more people that buy the bundle, the more the price increases, unless generous patrons pay more than the minimum cost which effectively drops the price for everyone else.
First up is award-winning arcade real-time strategy game from Oxeye Game Studio, Harvest: Massive Encounter, co-created by current Minecraft lead coder Jens Bergensten, and downloadable for Windows, Mac and Linux on Steam and Desura, DRM-free. This RTS/tower defense title, making its first-ever bundle inclusion, offers battles of epic proportions with a unique style of resource management and exploration. According to IGN, "Harvest is a tower defense game with a goal of achieving high scores rather than a congratulatory, 'You've triumphed! The galaxy is safe again,' followed by a 'Game Over.'" So it's a perfect way to while away the summer days inside!
Next up is a brand new update of a classic point-and-click adventure game from SkyGoblin Games, The Journey Down: Chapter One available for Windows, Mac and Linux on Desura and DRM-free. Play Bwana and his trusted sidekick Kito, who are struggling to make ends meet at their run-down gas station, as they embark on a spine-tingling adventure far from home and into a twisting plot of corruption and danger. Kotaku describes The Journey Down; as a "delightful change of pace... (the) Afro-Caribbean setting is one that's very rarely used in video games, and comes with a great palette of colors and art to pull from."
Also making its bundle debut is the long-lost Serious Sam II, Croteam's twitch-tastic 2005 shooter sequel, brought back by Devolver Digital in 2012 and now available for Windows on Steam. IGN said of the game at the time of its release: "The action is fast and intense from start to finish. You'll have tons of beasts to blast and a wide variety of vibrant levels to run through" - and that's still just as true now!
A four-pack of top imported Japanese shmups from Rockin' Android also make their debut in the Indie Royale Summer Bundle, starting with all three games from Platine Dispositif's Gundemonium trilogy, available for Windows on Steam, Desura and DRM-Free: Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne and Hitogata Happa. These three games, which span both horizontal and vertical scrolling, offer a remarkably complex yet flexible experience as you enjoy bullet-hell shoot-'em-up gameplay in a cartoonish steampunk universe. Notably, DIYGamer says of the collection that these games "have huge replay value. They’re score-attack games, intended to be played dozens of times on a variety of modes and mastered thoroughly over time."
The fourth game from Rockin' Android is Orange_Juice's Acceleration of Suguri-X Edition, available for Windows on Desura and DRM-Free. According to GameSpot, this game "offers a delicious mix of arena fighting and bullet-hell chaos." By mixing a shmup and competitive arena fighting, Acceleration of Suguri-X Edition offers a depth-filled game, inspired by Japanese titles like Senko No Ronde, and features eleven levels of gameplay, a techno-trance soundtrack and schoolgirls who duke it out over who gets to eat the last pudding on earth. What more could you ask for?
Finishing everything up in the Indie Royale Summer Bundle is Dino Run SE from Pixeljam, available for Windows, Mac and Linux on Desura and DRM-Free. This pixel-heavy indie classic is presented in a Special Edition, enhancing the Flash original with speed runs, extra multiplayer maps, hats, and other notable upgrades. Based off a pixelated prehistoric world, escape the inevitable doom wave of extinction by controlling a speedy raptor across tar pits, crumbling hillsides and meteorite showers while gobbling up anything that gets in the way.
As a one-off bonus, the bundle also includes another chance to get your hands on a Steam Windows Beta key to hot F2P action-RTS AirMech with a bonus in-game item: an exclusive Indie Royale "Fleur de Lis" companion/pet for your AirMech! Excusive to the Summer Bundle, this is one of the very first cosmetic items for AirMech. The game is still in closed beta on Steam right now, making these codes very difficult to come by, so many thanks to Carbon Games for partnering with us to offer these keys to all our valued customers.
Finally, those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent during the Summer Bundle will get
Pixeljams Volume 1 compilation (pixeljam.bandcamp.com/album/pixeljams-volume-1) featuring tunes from top electronic artists like Miles Tilmann, Datassette, Mark DeNardo, + Dosh. Normally a $5 value on its own, this collection of new and old tracks from the Pixeljam team (Dino Run) offers up nine tracks of pure bleepy joy. Included in Pixeljams Volume 1 is the Wiretap EP, featuring Kate Simko and Miles Tilmann, and a goodie bag of images, animations and other PixelJam-related stuff.
Additionally, Indie Royale just launched its Collection feature (www.indieroyale.com/collection). This is a page where Indie Royale purchasers can earn loyalty rewards, manage keys for already-purchased bundles and add already-completed bundles to their Wishlist for possible bundle reappearances! More info on the Indie Royale Collection is available via this blog post: www.indieroyale.com/blog/indie-royale-debuts-the-collection.
More information on the Summer Bundle, including real-time statistics and its current price, is available at its official website, www.indieroyale.com, or via its Facebook (www.facebook.com/IndieRoyale) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/indieroyale) pages.
