Help The Game

The well-titled Help: The Game bundle is out now. It includes twelve games for £9.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 developed in game jam fashion by the likes of Creative Assembly, Team 17 and Sports Interactive. It’s up on Steam and every penny of profit will go towards the War Child charity, which helps children affected by conflict.

A little background in this video:

  • 10 Minute Tower by Team 17, a tile-based puzzle game.

  • Splash Bash also by Rovio, a local multiplayer brawler for up to 4 players.
  • BlockAid by Hardlight, a lemmings-like management/puzzle game.
