The value story

9 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 27 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 328 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. On the same math ‎My Suika – Kyo’s Fruit Merge ($0.99, scores 72) and Malware ($2.99, scores 74) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
