Looks like the special deal is a free copy of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
It is a limited time to download like the humble store, or can you add it to your collection? That game goes on sale at Steam for $0.56 on the steam sales. Still, a free game is a free game.

Yes, the key is good until 2018 sometime (not sure exact date right off).

Apparently the game is also free on HB and Steam (I've heard) today as well.

Rebel Galaxy is a crapload of fun for about 3 hours, then you realize its the same crap over and over again and you get really bored. Freelancer has more longevity but it doesnt work well on modern Windows.


Kerbal on the other hand has given me about a thousand hours of happiness and shows no signs of being forgotten.

I found the same thing about Rebel Galaxy. I am 7 hours in and am completely bored with it. It is basically endless fetch quests, with mostly the same enemies over and over, and a great soundtrack can only take you so far.

I might give it a little more time to finish the first major quest and see if the next system is any different.

Overall, if you like this sort of game I would recommend Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages or Space Pirates and Zombies, and play your own music.
