Update: Link removed, I’ve heard that this may be a scam, so hold your horses.

Another one, with some lesser known games. Minimum spend is $1, and they seem to do the same thing that the Humblie Indie bundle did, where you can decide the charity split.
The web site loads an audio description of it, which is pretty annoying. Stop button is near the middle at the top. Offer available until Monday the 7th of May.
Via IndieGames blog
The site is having downloading link issues, is anyone familiar with the site/company?
Looks like a scam, best avoid them

I’m looking into it now, cheers.
Ludosity seem to definitely be on board.

Hmm..
It’s weird, seems they contacted the Gravitron 2 developer too but the company and the man (which might be one and the same) seem to have a terrible reputation and even a fraud related court case against him in Germany..
This is one of those very weird situations that you only get on the internet. The developers of the games being sold seem to be saying it’s not a scam, but there’s a whole bunch of anonymous internet people convinced it is.
Not so much http://ludosity.com/2010/05/dont-give-whatever-you-want/
Hope you didn’t give him your details.
hornedry2k’s responses in that GOG.com thread are definitely sketchy.
We’ve got two weeks if it is legit, no reason to risk it in the meantime.
Still, this kind of controversy isn’t really the best way to start a deal like this.
I thought it looked a little odd before so I only donated a dollar, the payment goes to ‘Jennifer Kolbe’
But the $1 is listed as ‘unclaimed’ on my paypal account, how do I stop the payment?
I am in the same position as you Hex.
According to paypal:
“The money has been deducted from your PayPal account. You can cancel this payment by clicking ‘Unclaimed’ and then ‘Cancel Payment’. After 30 days unclaimed transactions are automatically cancelled.”
But i can’t figure out how to do that – I cannot see a “Cancel Payment” option.
Let me know if you figure it out.
I googled it, I don’t think there is a cancel even though it says there is…
Maybe our payments were so small he didn’t bother to claim them 😛
I’m more concerned this is a scam and he’s doing something with our details, it’s just too dodgy to not be… I’m not sure what I can do about it though?
It’s confirmed, the guy running it is absolutely insane. Just read through this thread and his replies:

Ludosity have dropped their support for the bundle.

Its not Scum. The other Developer approve its legit.Dont know whats wrong there.Maybe some communication problems.Have bought it and work all fine.
Hmm, this comment posted as if it is by someone who purchased the bundle has very similar language and grammar to the guy ‘running’ this bundle.
Exactly my thoughts – so far he’s the only person I’ve ever seen who confuses “scam” with “scum”
PC Gamer interviewed him and the developers of Bob and Gravitron 2 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=248403

Also I just this very minute got the following message from Paypal.
“This email confirms that Jennifer Kolbe has accepted the $1.00 USD you sent.”
