Got this from CAG forums:

"Emailed Humble Support with a link to this thread and some of my thoughts. I don't want to seem entitled, but I think those folks should know if people are dissatisfied so they can provide a better service in the future. Here's their reply, a statement from Jefferey Rosen, co-founder of the Bundle!

Hey Josh, I’m sorry that this bundle is disappointing for you. Regarding GOG, Amanita has released this statement on their blog with freebies: http://amanita-design.net/blog/2012/...-pre-orderers/ and GOG is giving out the Witcher 2. We are working on our own humble apology as well to the people who preordered on GOG.

The Steam key minimum will be back to $1 after this bundle. Botanicula is a special case since it is a brand new debut and is not even being sold on Steam yet! Amanita requested a $5 minimum and we thought that seemed reasonable.

Well, that's good to hear. I like a company that monitors and responds to consumer concerns.

Since im really pissed off with the new steam keys policy and the lack of games on this bundle, im really tempted to buy 100 copys for 1 cent each, just to drop the average price. I dont need ony of the games, so i think it will be a good way to protest

There are more than 49000 purchases. If you bought 100 copies at 0.01 each, you'd drop the average about 2 cents

Are you aware of the reasoning behind this Steam key policy? Throwing a tantrum because content was not good enough for you is not a very good way to protest. Your action won't even be noticed and will only waste everyone's resources including yours.

Instead, you could choose not to buy this bundle and write a well compiled list of things you want to be corrected in the future bundles and send it to the team. That way bundle will not get money and you might even have chance to affect some future outcome.

I really hope we get a "normal" bundle next. I learned about HiB (and bundles in general) only after the #4, and I really love the idea of beating the average to receive the games from the previous bundles. However so far it's only been 2 Android bundles (that's great but, you know, more than half of smartphone owners can't play Android games) and one debut with three games that are certainly not going to please everyone - unlike the previous HiB which had different genres.

Since I commented on the indie movie included with Be Mine 2 (imho, that movie was awful), figured I'd comment on Kooky too.
It's visually very different from anything else I've ever seen. It's like watching a nature film if a child were the director and they added toys crafted from things they found in the woods into the nature film's narrative, and then also usually forgot that it was a nature film. Some of the effects, I have no idea how they pulled them off -- and I don't know if there's any CG in the movie (other than removing puppet strings). There's a lot of puppetry that's not meant to be hidden and so done very well, but the shots with real animals (squirrels, birds, a frog, a fox, and more) are what are most impressive to me, even though the animals (other than the bird family) don't have much of a role in the movie.
On the whole, it fit very well with the theme of the whole bundle -- I can definitely see a similar visual design between the games from Amanita Design and this film, and the charity part of the Humble Bundle going to the World Land Trust fits the film quite well too.
On the down side, it's a little slow and is definitely not a mainstream American style film (it's Czech). I'm not sure who the intended audience is, but it's probably more of a kid's movie than anything else.
So do I recommend it? -- If you like indie or foreign films, and especially if you're tired of all the usual CG-laden "blockbusters", then definitely. If you have a short attention span and don't ever like films for kids (if you somehow hated Toy Story), then no. (If you ever saw the movie "Ink", it kind of reminds me of that.)

Thanks for the review. I'm really looking forward to watch this movie.

Since you didn't point it out directly: The design was done by the same guy who is behind Amanita Design - so the visual connection is obvious. I was looking for this movie for quite some time and I'm really happy that it was now included in this bundle.

The puppets used in the movie were by the guy who founded Amanita.

Eventually, yes. Just be patient while cg finds some time to add the dozens of new bundles...
