Purchasing

Games can be purchased via the developer's website (e.g. VVVVVV) or sometimes by going to https://www.humblebundle.com/store/GAMENAME (e.g. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/bittriprunner).

The Humble Store purchasing widget for Gish
The Humble Store download page for Gish

Content included with a purchase depends on a per game basis. For example, Gish only includes a direct download for the game, whereas Legend of Grimrock contains a Steam key also and Retro City Rampage pre-order contains the direct download, redeemable key, mini-soundtrack, printable NES label, digital manual and a 20% coupon for their store.

Library

Games purchased via the Humble Store widget appear in the Humble Library (available from https://www.humblebundle.com/home), alongside any Humble Indie Bundles you have purchased with the same account.

Issues fixed

Order cancelled

This can occur when purchasing more than 3 of the same game or bundle using the same payment method. It appears to be an anti-fraud measure.
Use different payment method[4]

Use a different payment method, e.g. after using PayPal for 3 keys, switch to Credit Card or Amazon payments.

Lost Humble email

Use the Humble Order Resender.

Games

List of games available on Humble Store
List of games delisted from Humble Store

The full list of games that use the store is uncertain, though many can be found by searching for "Humble Indie Bundle, Game" in Google. However, according to Jeffrey Rosen all games in previous Humble Bundles had store pages created for them so that they could see what a widget would be like.[5] This means that some are intended to be private and not used by general consumers.
