The value story

59 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 42 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre. Environmental Station Alpha ($7.99, scores 60) outscores it, and so does Airscape - The Fall of Gravity ($4.99, scores 63). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
