The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was October 2016. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 57 in the 14 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Zuma Deluxe ($4.99, scores 93) beats it on value, while it beats Zup! 3 ($1.99, scores 79).

2 of the 367 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 578 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.

5 hours to finish it, 10 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.

Oh well, at least I got it on sale. (Played on a MacBook Air via...
