Evidently the [Humble Store](https://www.humblebundle.com/store/), an offshoot of the humble bundles, is trying to run a big steam style sale from today until the 21st, with normal discounts and then a group of rotating flash sales. Since there aren’t usually any big sales during spring, and it seems we’re looking at a few weeks of flash sales, I decided I’d make a thread about it.

I’m assuming all the pictured items on the main page are flash sales. I don’t know what the time frame for expiration is, I think this is the first of its kind. But currently:

Kerbal Space Program $16  
Shadowrun Returns $5, Shadowrun Dragonfall $10  
Batman Arkham Origins $7.50  
Broken Age $15  
Sonic Hits Collection $7.50  
Walking Dead Season 1 $6, 400 days $1, Season 2 $17  
Outlast $5  
Auditorium $1  
Trine $1 (Trine 2 complete story is $4, not listed as an image but I’m not sure if it’s also a temporary flash sale)  
Nidhogg $10  
Thief $25  
South Park Stick Of Truth $40  
Tower Fall Ascension $10  
Blade Symphony $7.50

Some of the prices here are the lowest I’ve seen, some aren’t. You can sort by discount. I’ll take a look at the full list and give some recommendations later, but for now, Kerbal, Walking Dead Season 1 / 400 Days, and both Trine games are definitely worth getting.

Yikes, Arkham Origins is certainly the best price I’ve seen. Yep, I just checked and that is a great deal.

I tried to resists, but I bought the Batman game for 7.49. Too good.

I’m used to shops using 1 USD = 1 EUR even though it’s kinda annoying, but the euro price for this game is 8.99e. :eek:

Even if I had wanted it, that sort of pricing policy would’ve stopped me from buying it.
