The value story

It has been discounted 60 times in the 13 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.96 at 67 percent off still sits 10 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Airscape - The Fall of Gravity ($4.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats AtmaSphere ($0.75, scores 57).
