Posted April 15, 2011 by M.H. Williams

Indie developer Frozenbyte announced today that the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle has sold around 100,000 units, raising $500,000 in 48 hours.  Revenue from the bundle can either go to Frozenbyte or selected charities, with the purchaser determining how much they pay and where their money ends up.  The charities include the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child’s Play, and a small tip fund for the Humble Bundle itself.

As a small thanks, Frozenbyte has released three songs from the upcoming Trine 2 soundtrack to anyone who’s purchased the bundle.  The bundle contains Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, a pre-order for Splot, and an unfinished title called Jack Claw.  The bundle will remain live for another 12 days.
