The value story

82 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 51 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 10 percent on value. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Morphopolis ($3.99, scores 62) outscores it, and so does When The Past Was Around ($7.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The goal is straightforward, almost primal in its simplicity-guide a small ball through a labyrinth to the exit. Yet within...
