The value story

The value story

Across all 92 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Hexcells ($2.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Hexcells Plus ($2.99, scores 90).

$10.72 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What players say

Nothing more, and nothing less, than the single greatest puzzle game I've ever played.
