The value story
103 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 51 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.49 at 51 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pictopix ($6.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Just Go ($9.99, scores 78).
$6.47 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What players say
I needed the flower emoticons. I like chess and I love Othello so I did play this for bit as I was curious to their twist.

Definitely for puzzle fanatics: ongoing and increasing becomes more difficult with every level. You do not need to know how to play chess. After about 20 minutes I personally lost...

Put on metal, became fridge. Horse laughs, I cant. Walked left, king clapped. Wife yells dinner, I ask quest. Finished dawn, now real life sparkles too.
