   Make sure you save the url of the page once you've paid for the bundle. It has the download links for the two commercial games, as well as the freeware games. While ordering the bundle no email is asked for.

   Desura Keys are now beig included with the two free commercial games. I was quite intrigued with Star Twine, which is an unusual take on the Tower Defence theme. I'd promised myself I wasn't going to buy another bundle for a while as most of the bundles I already own most of the games. Despite this being unusual in that six of the games are always free, and i already had 8 - bit night, I was intrigued by Star Twine. I'm always happy to add anything remotely concerning space, so went ahead and contributed several dollars to the project. some of which does go to charity.

   After playing it, I'm still intrigued. I only had a few minutes soare so installed and did a quick sortie and found a game with little to control. Basically you choose what towers you want to build via a selection screen (much like the selector in Crysis 2). I couldn't see how towers were placed. they seemd automatic. There was also a power generator. the more of these you created, the faster you build up power to purchase better towers.

   You can see what both games look like below from the images and video
