About the game

Bad Day - an endless runner with unique combination of 2D graphics and 3D environment. Compete with players from all around the world. But do not forget that the difficulty increases as you progress through.

The value story

47 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 51 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today's $0.49 at 51 percent off still sits 75 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
