The third Humble Indie Bundle has received over 105,000 purchases in just under 17 hours on sale, with more than $500,000 paid out in total for the five included indie games. The performance is a distinct improvement from the group's most recent bundle of Frozenbyte games, which took three days to bring in $576,000 off of 112,000 bundle sales in April. Buyers have spent an average of $4.74 each on the new bundle, as of this writing, with Linux users leading the pack with an average purchase price of $10.94. Mac users are averaging $6.31 in payments while Windows users make up the majority of total payments despite a $3.82 average purchase price. This is the fourth bundle offered by the group to package a group of indie games together for a price set by the buyer, but only the third with the Humble Indie Bundle moniker. Popular indie titles Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, And Yet It Moves and Hammerfight are included this time around. The bundle is set to run for another 13 days, and past bundles have seen extra games and features added to the line-up once total sales reached $1 million. The first three bundles have brought in at least $2.7 million in sales as of April. This is the first bundle to be offered by the group since it revealed $4.7 million in venture capital funding in April.
