October 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $12.39. It has been discounted 16 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $12.39 at 38 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 54. The current cut is what makes it a 61.

Value puts it in the top 27 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Breakout 13 ($9.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Erica ($11.99, scores 40).
