Mozilla and Humble Bundle are debuting a new game package called the Humble Mozilla Bundle, which includes eight award-winning games.

While Humble Bundle fans may be a little disappointed at this week's offerings, this bundle is unique because it is ported to the web.

The first five games in the bundle include Super Hexagon, Aaaa...!!! for the Awesome, Osmos, Zen Bound 2 and Dustforce DX. These games can be bought for whatever the user wants to pay. The next two, which include Voxatron and FTL: Faster Than Light, can be played if the user pays more than the average price for the bundle. Otherwise, all of the games mentioned, plus the last game, Democracy 3, can be had if the user pays $8.

All of these games were previously only available for PC or on mobile devices. They can now be played in browsers on any operating system. Players can also save their progress to the cloud and resume the game anytime they want, provided they have an Internet connection. The games are also downloadable free of DRM, with many of the titles being available on Steam, including the Humble Mozilla Bundle. Those who want to take advantage of the pay-what-you-want promotion have until Oct. 28 to act.

Humble Bundle is known for its charitable donations, with users being able to choose where the money they pay goes, either to the developers of the game or to nonprofit organizations. To date Humble Bundle and the community behind it has given $47 million to more than 30 charities and nonprofit organizations.

The games are available thanks to asm.js, a low-level subset of JavaScript by Mozilla that is specifically aimed at allowing developers to offer games directly in a browser. While it works best in Mozilla's Firefox, Google Chrome users can also take advantage of the system.

Humble has been talking about offering better and easier ways to download the games it offers. Currently there is no way to manage the files for games that users have already downloaded, although Humble has said that it would like to offer such a service in the future.

The company has also said it would like to allow users to download the first level or two of a game, at which point the user can begin playing the game while the rest of it downloads in the background. It would also like to allow updates for games by building on the versions that users have already downloaded instead of having to re-download the entire game.
