The value story

September 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. 71 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 50 percent off still sits 102 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Canyon Capers ($6.99, scores 1) and Ratty Catty ($14.99, scores 11) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
