The Humble Co-op Weekly

http://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

Hello everybody! It's time for another Humble Weekly Sale! This time, it's about co-op games!
Unfortunately, for us Linux gamers, there are only 2 games compatible with Linux, and one of them is available if you pay more than $6.
Anyway, we've got 7 games plus 3 soundtracks in this bundle.
Let's see the 2 games available for Linux (1 of them only as Steam key):

- Awesomenauts: Awesomenauts is awesomely awesome, oozing with character and colorful cartoonish fun. This 3 vs. 3 multiplayer action platformer will have you attacking your opponents and their turrets while also defending your own base from attack across a variety of 2D maps. Choose from a cast of vibrant characters, each with its own unique set of abilities and theme song, and unlock hundreds of upgrades to customize your character’s abilities to each new battle.

..And, if you pay more than $6 you also get:
- Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken: It's chickens versus penguins in Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken. This side-scrolling action-platformer features clever characters and even cleverer gameplay. Play as a gun-toting chicken with the mission of taking down the tyrannical penguin faction. Besides some quick shooting action and stealthy duck and covers, you can also control a penguin with brain bugs and jet through the sky with rockets.

Well, let's say that these 2 games were already available in previous bundles, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?
So, pay what you want, get incredible indie games, crazy soundtracks and help charity! What are you waiting for? Don't be stupid and be quick, you still have 3 days!
