The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.74. That was August 2026. 18 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 19 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $3.74 at 25 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Infinitode 2 - Infinite Tower Defense (free, scores 73) and Yokai Art: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ($6.99, scores 67).
$8.05 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $3.74.

What players say
13/13 - absolutely love it, so unique and simple and "not needing much good art" cool td game, its so simple that it lacks drag'n'drop to change towers instead of reordering from beginning, but overall game is fire i like that this game adds so many less and more unique aspects in the game like getting gold (and crystals) from producing towers instead of killing enemies. another very unique aspects are : - lots of...
Minimalist only refers to the graphics really. A great tower defense game that sucks you in trying to beat the levels on harder difficulties. Easy to pick up, challenging to master. Developer obviously doesn't have english as first language or bothered to have someone properly translate, but they've done enough for it to make enough sense. Very enjoyable and challenging all at once, makes for a good game.
Way to go, dude. You difficulty-spiked your game on 2.2: Blitz and irritated the player.
