73 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 30 percent. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. UBERMOSH ($0.99, scores 84) and SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising ($4.99, scores 82) both outscore it.

What players say
Very cool game in the Cyberpunk genre. I rarely play this type of games, but it's very fun and satisfying when you master it a little. Highly recommend, especially if you like the Cyberpunk genre.

the soundtrack is fantastic the fast and smooth gameplay makes the whole experience genuinely fun to play story isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's decent enough to keep you interested it's also relatively short, so it doesn't overstay its welcome not a masterpiece, but definitely a good time worth a play if you catch it on sale 6 / 10
Hotline Miami or OTXO this is not. The soundtrack doesn't even COME A TEENY TINY BIT CLOSE to Furi even. Unfair but my expectations were already low, so i was pleasantly surprised by this little gem. I would highly recommend it indeed, i'll just be turning the music off while i try and learn...idk if i scratched the surface but i'll put a few more hours in to see what more i can learn. It is an investing little...
