The value story

98 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 86 percent off across all of them, roughly 4 weeks apart. Today's $0.79 at 84 percent off still sits 68 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 67 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Primordia ($9.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats The Uncertain: Light At The End ($9.99, scores 14).
