Despite there being a plethora of indie game bundle options in the past few months, their popularity hasn’t waned one bit. Earlier this year we announced the launch of the Indie Underdog Pack, a group of five indie developers bundling their existing games together to help fund their next projects.

The pack is back with five new games from five new developers. The theme this time centers around the IUP dog mascot Blue the Champion, so 10% of all proceeds will go towards the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Check out the games below and be sure to check out the whole article for details on a giveaway contest

Without further ado, here are the five games included in the bundle:

And this likely isn’t all that’s coming to supporters. As certain milestones are reached, bonus items will be given away so be sure to spread the word before the bundle ends on June 24th.

Indie developers are once again banding together in an effort to not only bring consumers deals for solid games, but also to fund future projects.  They are teaming up to form the Indie Underdog Pack which will be available on Wednesday, March 14th.

As part of the Indie Underdog Pack, six teams will be supplying one of their previous games and the whole bundle will cost $5. The promotion is running through 8-Bit Funding, a popular website for crowdfunding indie games. All six titles will come to you DRM-free with the idea being you’ll do the right thing and not illegally distribute them.

Interested in which games your $5 will get you?  Check out trailers for most of them below.

• Animal Blast by Virtanen

• The Best of Lazy Brains from Lazy Brain Games

• Caveman Craig: SE  by Parabox Games

• Koya Rift by SunnyKatt

• Magi by MoaCube

• Potion Master by Epic Vessel Games (including our very own writer Joseph Hubert!)

As with other 8-Bit Funding campaigns, you have the option to donate more than the minimum.  While $5 will get you the games listed above, there are loads of other rewards being promised for higher tiers of donations.
