The value story
May 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $3.59. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 5 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 73 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Neon Abyss ($19.99, scores 69) and Anomaly Agent ($11.99, scores 83) both outscore it.

Good roguelite sidescroller. When you hop back in once and a while between larger, higher commitment games you know its doing something right.
The game is abandoned. Don't get me wrong, I spent 30 hours in the game and had a lot of fun, played just about every style, element, and character, and had a great time. But the game is abandoned so at best, pick it up on sale.
