Only reason I knew about it was they posted an update on fb and I saw it in my newsfeed. I had already visit HB earlier to see what the new book bundle was. Seriously, why is this not plastered as the main page when you go to the site like some their other big bundle/charity events have been?

Bumping this again so it stays fresh.

We're jammin', and we hope you like jammin' too. Nine development teams from around the world and one solo developer have volunteered to create games and raise money to fight ebola. These generous indie developers include Grapefrukt, Ludocity, Glitchnap, SLMN, Coffee Stain, and three teams from Mojang. Plus, TheMogMiner will be contributing as well! Donate an amount of your choice, and you'll get all of the games created during the event after its conclusion.

Good call. You get my bump too.

Sure these won't be fully-polished butt-puckeringly awesome games, but hey, it's for a good cause.
A little concerned that ebola is only getting the attention now that it's spread is a concern though. Seriously, farting out your liquidised organs is one type of disease that could have used more help BEFORE it became a 'thing'.

I think I'll rather head to my local mosque; bend over while making sure that my ass is pointing in the right direction and pray for Allah. Allah doesn't want us to play with nature. Surely Allah can deal with this problem.

Anyone know when we are getting the games?

The jam ended yesterday, but when following the link to the page that should have all the downloads, it still says:
"Sit tight while the indie developers race towards the finish line of the 96-hour Games Against Ebola game jam, which ends on Sunday, November 30 at 11 a.m. Pacific time. Download links will be provided after the developers are done jammin'."

What's up here?

Tomorrow in this case would indicate tuesday afternoon, their time zone (PST)

Can't comment on Princess Remedy or Docktor as I can't get them working, but I've had a quick play of the others, but ONLY a quick play so my thoughts on them should be taken with a grain or 5 of salt of course::

Snake Oil Stanley seems to be a kind of Heal People spin on the Trade Sim type game...you stock up on health tonics of various sorts and then hope you have the right stuff to cure the people who come to visit you (think basic Papers, Please style booth) for each person you can cure you get a profit on the item. Controls are nothing more than mouse clicks. Shows potential.

Round Round About looks like an endless Snake-type game where x number of snakes (the most I've seen is 6) just go round and round up to 4 circles until they hit a deadlock and you destroy some to get the others moving. Again, controls are nothing more than mouse clicks. Feels almost like a chill-out game, has potential.

Fist Of Healing looks like a one-screen platform-jumper beat-em-up where 2 players can punch or throw birdmen in order to cure them of their bird curse and turn them back into people. Controls are as simple as Left, Right, Jump, Drop through platform, Punch/Hold to charge and Grab/Throw. COULD get boring easily.

Shipment-23 is a pretty basic Point & Click game about delivering supplies to a human outpost on "Europa" via a 9-year-long journey alone through space. Mouse-click controls again. Nothing special so far.

Healthcore Evolved appears to simply involve using a little vaccuum thingy to suck up what look like disease cells and shoot them at other disease cells to destroy them. The accompanying Readme indicates a more polished version will follow in due time and it looks worth keeping an eye out for. Controls are basic directional aim, Left, Right, Jump, Suck/Shoot. This is the only game here that I reckon could use a bit more polish, so it's good that they plan on doing just that.

Healing Date looks kinda like Asteroids in that you use boosters and thrusters to move and turn in order to shoot down enemy ships, hard to get the hang of the controls so far but it has potential.

Kollaps is either a 2-player co-op game or, if you're co-ordinated, a twin-stick type one player game, about pushing asteroids into a wormhole before the shield around it closes. Basic directional-trust controls for 2 ships. Could be a lot of fun if I were more dexterous.

Finally, Professor Doctor Handsome, MD is a very basic arcade-style Hospital Sim where you move a disembodied hand (think Surgeon Simulator) and use it to put various turd-looking walking blocks in the right hospital room to heal. I SUCK at it so far but once I get more practice this could very well be the real gem of the collection for me.

I interpreted Docktor as some experimental game. You can feed this teeth-thing in the middle of the map with asteroids and it will grow larger and larger, so at some point it even starts swallowing the biggest asteroids. Had a giggle or two there while it lasted, but personally I've enjoyed Princess Remedy most.

It was the one I watched on and off, on Twitch, being made. The theme that team was given was docking and healing, so you are in a spaceship and have to dock with the station to get patients, the longer the dock, the more patients. That was the part they showed being developed, so I am not sure about the rest of it and how they finished it up. The premise is that that is your navigation viewscreen you are looking at, that for whatever reason, there is not Star Trek type technology to see what's going on and no viewport or window to see what is going on.
