May the $4.99 be with you (or something). Yup, still that low a price per month for access to 100+ indie games, and… well, April’s become May, which means new games are being added!
Now, as with April’s additions, May’s new games will be brought to the platform over the course of the month and as always, I will be updating with links (and video embeds), as each title becomes available on Jump.
