The value story
February 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $0.89. It has been discounted 73 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Hexcells Plus ($0.89, scores 90) outscores it, and so does Hexcells Infinite ($1.49, scores 96). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 244 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off
87% start to 37% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
What players say
Easier to fall into guesswork than HexCells but there is solid reasoning for each step in every puzzle as far as I remember. Very satisfying once you start thinking the right way.
Short and fun logic puzzle game in similar category as sudoku or nonogram. I wish there were undo/redo button and temporary save functions
