The value story

It has been discounted 3 times in the 5 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 40 percent, about 147 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 11 percent on value. It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Corn Kidz 64 ($6.99, scores 80) and Lunistice ($4.99, scores 89) both outscore it.
