bvngo: Anyone know if these work on android tablets?

Edit:
nvm, found the list of devices here: http://support.humblebundle.com/customer/portal/articles/1058230-humble-mobile-bundle-system-requirements
You have to take the specs with a pinch of salt (and some common sense). Anomaly Korea runs fine on my Galaxy Tab 2 (not supported on the list) but Bladeslinger suffers from slowdowns.

Starmaker: To whom it may concern: PvZ for Android is stripped down.
Could you please elaborate?
Not sure if anyone's noticed, but this bundle doesn't seem to advertise that it's DRM-free this time. Seems a bit odd, really.
Apparently there are TWO bundles..did I get that correct? THQ is PC games...

Yes, but THQ is weekly.

It lacks the zen garden, the survival mode, and the minigames (at least the version on the Google app store does).

Well that's disappointing. Thanks for the update.
Is the mobile bundle DRM free and the games just the apk files?
Tried PvZ and Metal Slug 3 shortly on ASUS Transformer tablet (with the attached keyboard).

As I thought, PvZ plays great on tablet, it is right at home there. Too bad if this version does not have the extra crap like minigames etc., but as long as the whole campaign/story is there. I still prefer to get a GooglePlay-free version of the game.

Metal Slug 3 looks and sounds like a real Metal Slug game... but for the life of me I couldn't figure out the controls. :) First I thought it was supporting the ASUS Transformer keyboard because the game started when I pressed A on the keyboard, but after that it seemed erratic. Not sure if it was responding to any key presses.

I couldn't figure out touch controls either, I'll have to look into it later. I hope the controls don't suck, something I'm always afraid of when controller games are ported to touch devices.

I installed a bunch of the other games too but didn't try them yet, I have no idea what the other games are like.

Just for information: If you have your phone in German (or possibly any other language other than English) and you try to start Metal Slug 3, you may see all of the text replaced with "Error loading". To get rid of this, you'll need to change your phone's language to English.

Seems they've enabled the game to support German text but have forgotten to put the localised files in.

There are separate APK files for all the six games, so I presume they are DRM-free. I didn't check it though, I was in a hurry so for now I downloaded and installed the games using the Humble Bundle Android installer client.

The controls do suck. I uninstalled the game from my phone again for that reason.

I completed The Room though. That was fantastic, although quite short. It also seemed like it was meant to be the first episode in a longer sequence.

I found Contre Jour to be boring. It clearly took inspiration from both Crayon Physics and World of Goo, but manages to be far less interesting than either of those games.

Anomaly is Anomaly. Just more of the same. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too.

Unfortunately Bladeslinger refuses to install on my Samsung Galaxy S2. It says "Installing" for a long time, then says that the installation failed. I have no idea why.

It did that on my Toshiba Thrive too but weirdly it was still in the installed app list, I clicked it and it ran fine for the first few sections (I didn't play any further), I think the installer is just a bit banjaxed. You should does it still run for you. It's a pretty impressive game graphically. I found it awkwardto control though. It might be easier on something smaller than a 10 inch screen!:D
no cross platform on mobile?(if not computer support why not some other type of phone. I get not linux or mac or steam version ect but what about something else mobile? Is the only game thats android only blade slinger? I'd have left that one out and found something else then)
no drm free on weekly?(I got it as a one off when thq needed the money but now?)
hardly seems like humble bundle.
kinda wanted metalslug, but its $2 in the app store anyway and pvz is only half the game on android. so thinking i'm going to pass on this one.

people who have it can you confirm its drm free? I'd assume yes but figured given the circumstances better ask since they oddly didn't say...hib is already playing fast and loose with its requirements so :(

If it isn't I heard app store plants vs zombies doesn't work offline so if it runs in airplane mode it should be I think.(also is it true that the pvz android is missing several game modes? some minigames, zengarden, survival mode ect...because humble bundle seemed to say it had survival, typo? it isn't an updated version right? because if its a new version I'd get it for that)
edit- that line is gone now from the description. can still be found on humble mumble blog.'s announcement.

ah that answers my question. so yes. its stripped down and humble made a typo like in the last bundle when they labeled beathazard complete as the dlc beat hazard ultra.

edit- and it sounds like a strong maybe for drm free then. thats good
