Five indie developers, Mode 7 Games, Curve Studios, Mommy’s Best Games, Just Add Water, and New Star Games plus digital distribution specialist Get Games have teamed up to bring their littleBIGbunch bundle of five cracking PC games in aid of the games industry charity, GamesAid which supports children and young people. The even better news is that gamers set the price they want to pay for the bundle including Frozen Synapse, Explodemon, Serious Sam Double D, Munch’s Oddysee, and New Star Soccer 5. Gamers have the choice of allocating any money they wish to go straight to GamesAid and how much goes to the game developers themselves. The amount they pay is entirely their choice and there is no minimum or maximum price. The littleBIGbunch will be available worldwide by digital download from www.littlebigbunch.com on a ‘pay what you like’ basis from December 14th 2011 and will be on sale until Jan 2nd 2012.
GamesAid trustee Ian Livingstone OBE said, ‘This is a great initiative for GamesAid and I would like to say a massive thanks to the indie developers who have kindly put their games into littleBIGbunch. These are great games and I am sure littleBIGbunch will be well received by gamers everywhere.’
Miles Jacobson OBE, GamesAid ambassador and co-founder added ‘GamesAid is a uniquely democratic charity and this method of making these great games available follows those values. Hats off to Get Games and the devs for making this happen!’
About the Games
Frozen Synapse
Frozen Synapse brings simultaneous turn-based strategy genre bang up-to-date and lets you give detailed, accurate orders to your squad: classic gameplay with a modern interface.

Competitive-but-intuitive multiplayer and a huge single player campaign mean that Frozen Synapse will give you hours and hours of tactical delight.
Serious Sam Double D
Serious Sam explodes into the second dimension using everything in his arsenal to battle the abominable legions of Mental’s horde.

Explodemon
An explosive homage to SNES-era platformers mixed with a modern physics-puzzle twist, Explodemon is non-stop action mayhem like you’ve never seen before.
