Contains Newt One, We should talk, Bombfest & Where the bees make honey.
Depending on what you already might own, but with the bundled price -75% every game in there should be around 1€ (or even less in my case).

Pilgrims - Hand-drawn adventure with quite unique card system by creators of Machinarium
Galaxy on Fire 2 - This one is 1,99 but it's hella worth it. Played it a lot on J2ME back in the days and PC version si awesome too. It's like more casual Freelancer.
Cargo Commander - Relaxing rogue-lite with catchy title song
Samorost 2 - Classic
Thomas Was Alone - Really good story-driven platformer with great narrator.
A Bird Story - Short emotional story by To the Moon creators
Super Star Path - Solid color match/shmup hybrid

Morphblade

Neat idea. I passed on the bundle that this was in and it's been many years since that bundle, so idk if it will ever get bundled again. I think I'll buy the Suspicious Developments Steam bundle for the discount, and because I own Gunpoint already, in the winter sale; definitely spent too much this sale.

Yesss, a chance to tell everyone about my favorite games I'd recommend even if they weren't on sale.

The Count Lucanor is $1.99, I wish I could play it again for the first time. Gorgeous pixel art, adventure horror based on a fairy tale, and has the correct ratio of scary-to-beautiful things https://store.steampowered.com/app/440880/The_Count_Lucanor/

Happy Pride Month, We Know the Devil is $1.33 https://store.steampowered.com/app/435300/We_Know_the_Devil/

and the base game for One Deck Dungeon is $1.99, one of my favorite putting-dice-in-boxes games I've spent an embarrassing number of hours playing https://store.steampowered.com/app/770100/One_Deck_Dungeon/

Fun one for the price, but best indie arcade racers for me is Ring Racers, a Sonic fan game, really huge content (28 cups against AI for a total of 140 tracks), and totally free, can be download here

I would add this one (1'79€):
Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers.

I know it is from 2012, but the game has nice physics mechanics and the aesthetics are kind of interesting. It may not be a masterpiece compared to other games nowadays, but i thought it was special enough when I played it (and I had it waiting in my backlog for many years).

The beginning of the monster hunter trilogy, a 2008 game often on sale (now € 1,19), great story and clunky combat system but if you like fantasy RPG you'll love it

Free on GOG though. And doesn't have any extra features like achievements which makes it more appealing to some to own in steam.
