The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.49. That was February 2025. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 2 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart. Today's $3.99 at 20 percent off still sits 14 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Take the discount away and it is a 88. With it, 93.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, VVVVVV ($4.99, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats La-Mulana 2 ($24.99, scores 71).
$5.91 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $3.99.

What players say
incredibly charming and overall a fun little puzzle game. I even got the dlc after finishing the base game, cant wait to try that out.
Kind of disappointing. I had heard a lot of great things about Leap Year, so I went in with high expectations and ... it was okay. The game is good, it's short, it has some very creative puzzles but it never wowed me. So I went away from it thinking it was just fine. Maybe I would feel differently if, Leap Year hadn't been hyped up to me so much. I think its a solid entry in the puzzling genre. I had an okay time...
