Sales of the "pay what you want" Humble Indie Bundle have passed $1 million, leading the kind folks behind it all to extend the offer by four days and pledge to release the source code for bundle games Lugaru HD, Gish, Aquaria and Penumbra Overture.

Bundleers World of Goo and Samorost 2.

The initial week-long Humble Indie Bundle sale raked in $1,112,815, with $344,450 going to Penny Arcade's charity Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

The Humble Indie Bundle offers DRM-free Windows, Linux and Mac versions of World of Goo, Aquaria, Lugaru HD, Penumbra Overture, Samorost 2 and Gish for as much or as little as buyers fancy paying. The sale has been extended until 4pm EDT on May 15.

The source code for Lugaru HD is already available and the rest are soon to follow.

I bought this, but I can't seem to get world of goo to work on windows 7 64-bit. I just get a blank screen with audio. The other games seem to work just fine, any ideas? I tried xp compatibility mode but I get the same thing.
