The value story
June 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. Its cuts run 25 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 2 years tracked, about 10 weeks apart. Today's $9.09 at 30 percent off still sits 21 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Among the games that feel like it, Soulstone Survivors ($14.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats ANVIL ($24.99, scores 8).

What players say
Just finished 100% and would highly recommend if you enjoy the bullet heaven genre its a must play <3
If you are considering playing, just download the demo and try it out! If you decide you like it and get the full game it keeps all the progress you made from the demo. Really enjoying this! I do wish there were more tems to unlock and play as
Its a fun game but after 1.0 it seems like they dropped the game, there hasnt been any news or even a roadmap
