The value story

Across all 70 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $1.49 at 95 percent off still sits 204 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Life Goes On: Done to Death ($12.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats AtmaSphere ($0.75, scores 57).

What players say

A great game for an hour of fun and puzzles. You use the VVV game mechanics (changing the gravity upwards and downwards) to solve puzzles and therefore complete levels. It took me just over an hour to complete all the levels and earn all the achievements. The biggest con: I'm not sure why it's €30 full price - I got it for 1€ on sale, so I won't be recommending this game at that price. for less than 5€ sure, but not...
