The point of this is obviously the charity, but I'm not gonna lie, after a quick look at the included games, if Tunic wasn't in this bundle I would feel ripped off paying $10 for it.

I don't see any of those other games combined being worth $10 to me. Multiple visual novels / story games, puzzle games, and many games that look like a generic Kemco published RPG Maker game but with a pastel color palette this time. Again, I get that the point of this is charity, but Tunic is literally the only game that I would say brings value to this bundle. If someone already owns Tunic and is considering this, I would say to just directly donate the money.

I actually disliked Tunic, just saying. I got more enjoyment out of Cosmic Express and Delver (and I didn't even like the final fight in Delver). Whatever floats your boat...

Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs

Yes, it was the cheap camera tricks obscuring parts of the map that you could go to that did it for me. It was, like, basically making you check for every possible secret despite the limited abilities of no camera control nor destructible terrain... I get that there was an era of games with this mindset (sorta like some Metroid-&-other games, I suppose), but I just don't have time for that any more.

This may sound odd to some, but my stance towards quality games is: punish fairly. Life is hard enough as it is so I don't need a game also going, "Haha, well, screw you here, too." Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
