The value story

Across all 38 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 79 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. On the same math Super Amazing Wagon Adventure ($2.99, scores 76) and Exit the Gungeon ($9.99, scores 35) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Used a keyboard/mouse. Thought this game was going to be a cute golf game - It's cute and there is golf - but there's a level of difficulty and auto-generated unfairness I wasn't expecting nor wished for that turned the game into...
