Humble Bundle Teams With Mozilla For A Package Of Browser Games, Including FTL
Browser gamers haven’t always had the best reputation, but with the advent of titles like Card Hunter, that’s started to change. Now, Humble Bundle and Mozilla are teaming up for a package of games to be played in your browser (Firefox and Chrome). No plugins are required and you’ve probably heard of one or more of these.
The titles are powered by asm.js, a form of javascript that has been used to run Epic Citadel (the precursor to Infinity Blade) in a browser. It can support Unity, Unreal Engine 3, and other less popular engines all without the help of an external client.
The games included in the bundle at the base “pay what you want” level are:
- Super Hexagon
- Aaaaa…!!! for Awesome
- Osmos
- Zen Bound 2
- Dustforce DX
Paying more than the average (currently $4.24) will also get you:
- Voxatron
- FTL: Faster than Light
- One other, yet to be announced title
Finally, if you contribute $8 or more, you’ll get Democracy 3. Charities included in this bundle are the Mozilla Foundation, Maker Education Initiative, and CodeNow. The bundle will be live for two weeks, ending on October 28.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
