The value story
Across all 33 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 35 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $9.09 at 30 percent off still sits 40 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Kaze and the Wild Masks ($9.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Super Bernie World (free, scores 52).

Nice little game. Very short. Fair challenge (not rage-inducing). Great soundtrack.

Fun game and not too long, which is a plus for me. I like that there's no level-ups or equipment to find. It needs a bit of polish, though. There's a scene near the end where you're running away and it's expecting you to do platforming that the game isn't really engineered enough for and there are too many blind jumps. Could use some proofreading, too.
