The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was March 2023. 18 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, NERTS! Online (free, scores 84) and Stacklands ($7.99, scores 88) both come in lower.

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $17.91. It costs $9.99.

This site sampled 318 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2022 to September 2026.

13.1 hours to finish it, 152 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 12 times the campaign.

This is a great collection. I was already a fan of Zachtronics games (especially Opus Magnum), but I stupidly let this stagnate on my wishlist for far too long. I would look at the listing and think, "Is solitaire really worth buying? It was free with my operating system since the 90s."
