Humble Indie Bundle 4 brings you Super Meat Boy and more

Humble Indie Bundle 4 is now live. As before, gamers are allowed to set their own price and pay what they want for five (or seven) hit indie games. This time around, the bundle includes Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, Super Meat boy, Shank, and NightSky. What's more, if you choose to pay more than the current average price, you'll get Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles as a bonus. That's seven games, valued at around $100 separately.

It's that time again. Time to break out your digital wallet and give to those less fortunate than yourself, and get some great games for your trouble.

As always, proceeds are split among developers, the American Red Cross, and Child's Play. Buyers get to choose just how much of their money goes to developers and how much goes to charity. All games included are DRM free and multiplatform, working natively on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

The current average purchase price is $4.55, with Linux users being the most generous, choosing to pay an average of $8.63. The stingiest buyers on average are apparently Windows users, choosing to pay less than half of that: $4.10.

Why not take advantage of the deal? It's for a good cause.
