Blocks that Matter is also a nice game in the bundle :) I enjoy all three games. the humble bundles are a great way to do some charity and give some kind of 'feedback' with the payment. I don't like the guys how buy it for the lowest price...

Still convincing myself to buy it. I would pay $15 for it as well.

It's a fun game, but I don't think it's worth $15. Maybe if it was actually finished, and took more than an hour to play.

Don't get me wrong, it's a charming piece of software, but it feels more like a demo or beta test at this point.

Well, it is an alpha build, isn't it?

first off, it's still in alpha, BUT, if you listened to the video on the humble voxatron bundle, it said something like :
"If you buy it now, you will get futher updates!".
So enough reason to buy it now!

I played it. I thought that it was a little too frustrating in general - I ended up walking into every other room with just one heart, requiring dozens of restarts as I died from tiny, random missteps. Things I think they should improve include:

1) Let you shoot in a different direction than you're moving, ala Robotron.
2) Make the tiny, swarm enemies less able to kill you. Like, at least three must be touching you at the same time to do damage, or something. It makes no sense that something that tiny does as much damage as the giant pig-creature's charge-up, ground-shattering attack.
3) More boss fights (the two they had were awesome, though).

There is a new version out now where you can change the controls, it's made the game much easier but still enjoyable.

I got the humble bundle, and The Binding Of Issac was totally worth it. I wasn't expecting it to be so awesome.

I wasn't expecting it to be the game I had planned on making months before it was announced either.
