The value story
December 2021 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 44 in the 11 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $3.08, a level the record has reached 21 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Nyan Cat: Lost In Space ($4.99, scores 81) and Unpacking ($19.99, scores 67) both outscore it.
