Let's get ready to Humbleeeeeeee....
It's time for a new Humble Indie Bundle, and this time it's again a bundle for Android!



I know, most of these games have been already seen in other bundles, but it's the first time that these games can be also played on our Android device!
As always, pay what you want (but if you beat the average price you get another game), help charity and get 6 games (also for Linux) and their amazing soundtracks!
Let's take a look at the games included:

- Splice: resequence, mutate, and splice in this experimental microbial puzzler by Cipher Prime.



- Eufloria HD: take to space, conquer asteroids, and grow an organic army of seedlings in this elegant and unique real-time strategy game by Omni Systems.



- Waking Mars: when a mission of first contact doesn't go as expected, astrobiologist Liang is trapped underneath the surface of Mars. With the help of his trusty jetpack and his allies on the surface, you must help Liang discover the secret ecosystem underground and bring a sleeping planet to life.



- Crayon Physics Deluxe: a physics-based puzzle game that won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the 2008 Independent Games Festival.



- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP: delivers a completely fresh adventure gaming experience, defying conventions to develop a unique kind of storytelling.



...And if you beat the average price (now $6.02) you get also:

 - Machinarium: in the point-and-click adventure game Machinarium, players guide a heroic little robot on his quest to save his friends from a trio of bullies in a dilapidated machine city.



So, for just a few bucks you have the possibility to play 6 awesome games on your Android device and on Linux! What are you waiting for? You still have more than 13 days! Don't be stupid and be quick!
