The value story

70 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 51 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.69 at 86 percent off still sits 146 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is less well reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Moss VR ($9.99, scores 66) beats it on value, while it beats Kiki ($0.99, scores 0).

1 more review, not recommended
At a sale, I guess this game is acceptable but nothing more. You could get motion sick while playing this game. This game isn't thought out thoroughly. What do I mean by that? [*]the finish block is just a checkpoint without collisions [*]clinging onto surfaces can be abused [*]time attack can be finished even when the time runs out And other things. Improving times in time attack is an option for getting more...
