The value story

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.24. That was December 2017. 80 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tukoni: Prologue (free, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Iconoclasts ($19.99, scores 59).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $4.68.

What players say

Great game. I really love the concepts and the puzzles. The only thing that could be better would be an accessibility option to disable screen shake, as that made some levels quite nauseating for me.

I adore this game. The puzzles are fun, the visuals are vibrant, and the sound design and voice acting are great, too. It's really fun for a fairly short game. 7/10
