The value story
The value story
10 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 51 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. Trine Enchanted Edition ($14.99, scores 78) outscores it, and so does Type:Rider ($4.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Forgotten gem, a very nice platformer with nice atmospheric levels and music. Short but fun to play.

This game's kinda a gem (if you play version 170) Gish initially feels really bad to control but after a certain point you will master him and the levels will feel like jokes

About the game
Gish isn't your average hero. In fact, he's not your average anything...you see, Gish is a ball of tar. A Sunday stroll with his lady friend, Brea, goes awry when a shadowy figure emerges from an open manhole and pulls Brea below ground.
Minimum specs
Runs on Windows, macOS.
