The value story

58 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 18 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 64 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. On the same math Streets of Rage 4 ($24.99, scores 81) and METAL SLUG ($7.99, scores 63) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

The drop-off

64% start to 1% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Simple concept that has been developed into a full-fledged game with fun, varied and challenging gameplay.

Slightly Recommended. 7/10* The visuals are decent, hd cartoonish art, i would rater love the old pixel art but its still decent so as music, now what is really important its the gameplay, its the classic pang simple controls and classic gameplay mechanics, and im not saying "simple" as something bad, i mean, it was simple back then, it is simple in this one too. you just shoot vertically to blow all bubbles before...

Feels pretty true to the classic Pomping World and Super Buster Bros. I was very pleased it was available for PC as I don't leave my PC Engine Duo RX hooked up most of the time so it's easy to get a quick 10 mins in whenever I want now.
