The value story

85 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 84 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.79 at 84 percent off still sits 34 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is less well reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Gato Roboto ($1.19, scores 93) and One Gun Guy ($0.79, scores 23) both outscore it.
