This is great, but do I seriously have to click download 743 times for these games to show up in my library? I can't just click one thing to put them all in my library? And do they even still exist linked to my profile where I can get to them if they're not in my library? Isn't that a bit excessive?
Funnily enough, reading this is what convinced me to buy the bundle. The thought of indiscriminately dumping 743 new games into my finely curated itch.io library was putting me off, but if I get to pick which ones I wanna add? Great! (tho I agree that you absolutely should have the option to just add all of them if that's what you want)

Quite a few nice little indie gems there, such as Night in the Woods, Oxenfree, Quadrilateral Cowboy, Heavy Bullets, Super Hexagon, A Short Hike...
Yes, great stuff!
Also worth mentioning:
Wide Ocean Big Jacket
Minit
Pet The Pup At The Party
Haven't played these but I've heard good things / am interested in them:
Overland
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist (by the Stanley Parable dev!)
On Rusty Trails (by the Tiny & Big dev!)
A Mortician's Tale
Fortune-499
2000:1: A Space Felony
The Space Between
Never heard of these but they look noteworthy:

I don't like shmup/bullet hell games but I feel like this one has to be straight up
someone's alley.

out of that bundle if you havent played Stowaway, you need to, amazing, genuinely had me freaked out.
henke on 7/6/2020 at 16:17
Stowaway downloaded. :)
Played a few of the games today:
Word Forward - Word-finding puzzle. Eh.
Mobius - Cool concept but not all that much fun to play.
Run Jump Fail - PHYSICS FUN!
Whirlibird - arcadey helicopter rescure action. Keeps crashing when I load level 2. :|
perfect park - ehhhhh naaaaah
FutureGrind - futuristic grinding unicycles thingy? Kinda captivating actually.
but my favourite thing I've found is the COMBAT TENNIS game 10s.

Bleed 2 is a very short, but very cool run and gun game well worth trying out.

Just played through Sagebrush in one 2-hour sitting. Goddamn that was good, surprised I'd heard nothing about it before. If you're in the mood for some unnerving first person adventure/exploration, it's well worth giving a go.

I just got the itch.io bundle and made a list for later of games I'm going to play. That's all great, but, as the natural born twat I am, I feel the need to nitpick: it seems like I have to manually go through the bundle list page by page until I find the page where the game I want to play is listed. I can do that, but I was hoping there would be a better way: either allow me to search the bundle list, or allow me to download from each individual game's standard page (if I'm logged in, they could check if I've purchased the bundle, check the game against he bundle list, and, if both criteria are met, then let me download).

Yeah, I spent forever going through all 25 pages and adding the interesting looking ones to a collection, and when I went to download some it turned out to have been a waste of time. A search would be nice too, or at the very least letting you switch to some sort of a grid view instead of 25 pages of a narrow one column view. But they probably had little reason to think they'd be making a bundle of hundreds of titles when designing the site.
Anyway, lots of interesting stuff there. One highlight that wasn't mentioned yet is Glittermitten Grove.

If you click on the download button (don't actually have to download anything, it just brings you to the page where you can choose between different platforms), the game gets added to your library where you can then download it later. So one way to "bookmark" games for later playing would be to go down the list of games and click download on the games that interest you and then the browser's back button to continue browsing the list where you left off.

If you didn't see this yet, all of the the games are permanently saved on your account where you can access them.
In the left-hand menu you'd click "My purchases", and at the top of that page is "Bundles" which, if you click, will take you to a page with a link to this bundle.
And if you click that you have access to download all of the 743 games.
So you can pick which ones you want to play later., and there's no rush.

Thanks, that made things easier; I've got all games ready in my library now.
...aaand just now I noticed there
is actually a search function for the bundle: Was that added recently or did I just miss it before? Oh well, everything's good: great bundle, great cause, very diverse set of games (should be something in there for just about everyone).

Yeah, I just like having a list of favourites to start with. That way I only have to go through the full bundle once -- and can also maximize the pay-off.
