‘Humble Bundle Mojam’: Three Games, Fundraising And Bacon Slapping

With the weekend well and truly behind us, the Humble Bundle Mojam has quite clearly come to a close and the results of the 60 hour development session are in!

Mojang, Wolfire Games and Oxeye Studios all made a game in the allotted time while raising money for charity and entertaining those watching via the livestream on HumbleBundle.com. All together a total of 80,197 Mojams were sold and a grand total of $449,718.96 was raised for charity! Not bad going for a couple days work.

If you were one of the people who did donate to charity then you can now play the games, well, two of them at the time of writing. Each team stuck to the RTS Shmup with a steampunk ancient Egypt theme and all had quite different results.

Mojang created Catacomb Snatch, which has you playing as an old English hunter, shooting his way through tombs to get the diamonds and various monies on which to spend on little gadgets to help fight back the snakes, bats and mummies. It even supports multiplayer.

The Wolfire guys come up with an interesting concept although it needs further development. It’s called The Broadside Express and it has you travelling across ancient Egypt as a steam train, blasting giant scorpions with your cannons and collecting extra carriages.

We haven’t actually been able to play Oxeye‘s Fists of Resistance yet, but as soon as we do we’ll get the information up here.

While the charity donations are very admirable and the games are fun to play, our personal highlight of the event was the epic bacon slapping fight held in the Mojang offices – Notch gets a face full of it. Check it out below!
