The value story
February 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. It has been discounted 36 times in the 12 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 51 percent, about 15 weeks apart.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 30 percent. It is cheaper than 90 percent of its genre. The Way ($14.99, scores 48) outscores it, and so does Super Bernie World (free, scores 52). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

About the game
Jet Gunner is a 2D platform action indie game that's full of Nestalgia. Full of action, gunfights, bosses and explosions so if you're into the whole 8-Bit vibe you should love this. From the sound, to the graphics to the flicker, this should pay tribute to those classic hard as nails, run 'n' gun games.
