About the game

Inspired by the legendary ZX Spectrum classic Bugaboo (La Pulga), Flix the Flea is a precision arcade platformer where every jump counts. Master momentum, bounce through deadly caverns, and conquer ten challenging levels in this deceptively simple but brutally addictive skill game.

The value story

14 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 18 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Canyon Capers ($6.99, scores 1) and Super Meat Boy Forever ($4.99, scores 3) both outscore it.
