The Indie Royale just keeps on rolling, and now an "April Fools" bundle has launched. As usual, it packs five indie gems together on the cheap, with a musical bonus for paying a little more than the minimum. Of course, given that it's themed after a holiday of deceit, you might open up your bundle only to get a pie in the face.

This particular pack grants you the tower defense game Defense Grid: The Awakening, 2D platformer Explodemon, shooters Alien Zombie Megadeath and Astro Tripper, and dungeon crawler Hack, Slash, Loot. Defense Grid also packs in the Resurgence Map Packs 1-4.

If you pay more than the minimum, currently standing at around $4.50, you'll also get chip-tune album Rock: Deluxe Edition from Sexy Synthesizer. The bundle will last about another five days, after which you'll never be able to buy an Indie Royale Bundle again as long as you live. Or for three weeks, when the Spring Bundle launches. Whichever comes first.

      Defense Grid is IMO the best tower defense game ever made, bar none. If you like TDs and haven't played it yet you are doing yourself a disservice.

        I don't even really like TDs that much, but if I were to buy one, it'd be Defense Grid, no question.

          I'd take Plants vs. Zombies over it, but Defense Grid is fucking amazing.

      Totally agree with MOONANiBE, Defense Grid is awesome, and the "You Monster" DLC with GladOS is hilarious and tons of fun.

        I wish the "You Monster" DLC had been included with the Indie Royale pack...

      Steve Watts, we can agree I read fp articles every once in a while if you guys start giving external links, ok?

        Rewording things that other sites have already said is like 90% of game news these days.

        Seriously, WTF is this? It links to 3 internal pages of the games but not the Indie Royale bundle.

          I bet if you were to search google for "indie" and I don't know, maybe "royale" you'd probably get something like http://www.indieroyale.com

          Yes shack could easily have put a link, but those of you complaining about the lack of a link could have found (or guessed) the link quite easily.
