Finally got around to sorting some images for the other games in the bundle.
The total cost of this package if you were buying the games separately; that is, just for the Steam keys and the DRM free 'Waking Mars' is £51.4 (approx $77) that's not counting the fact that you also get DRM free copies of all the Steam games as well as Android versions (and if you want Linux and Mac versions). To purchase the whole pack at the moment is just under $6.30 thats about £4.20. Apart from splice all of the games are classics, so this price is amazing (I found splice a little boring, but then I studied transcription and gene manipiulation etc when doing my first degree (Biological & Biochemical Sciences).
Splice: (usually £6.99)
Splice is an experimental and artistic puzzler. Immerse yourself in its microbial world and start splicing! Every level ("strand") consists of a number of cells that you will need to rearrange into a target structure in several moves ("splices"). Exploration and experimentation are key in determining how the curious little cells react to each other. Predict the sequence of splices you'll have to make in order to successfully arrange each strand. Re-sequence, mutate, and splice your way through this unique puzzle experience, and you'll exercise your ability to visualize sequential series of shapes over time. Solve your way to the final strands and you'll be left with a heady sense of mental accomplishment!
