The value story
Across all 126 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.49 at 75 percent off still sits 25 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 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Octogeddon ($8.88, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Topple Tactics ($9.99, scores 66).

What players say
Only play this game if you are: A) A child; or B) A true fan of TD games; I think I am both. So an easy "thumbs-up" for me! :)

Holy flaming guacamole on a pogo stick, who the hell gave this adorable sugar bomb permission to be this fun?! "Go Home Dinosaurs"? More like "Stay Here, Daddy Needs His Fix." I booted this up expecting some toddler-tier, Fisher-Price nonsense - and then BAM! I'm knee-deep in a tower defense puzzle hybrid that actually tickles my brain in ways my therapist would disapprove of. You play as this tiny, fuzzy-ass gopher...
