Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Short-ish but quite fun platformer shooter with a few gimmick sections, most of which are great, one rather annoying one. Visuals work very nicely, good amount of color options once you unlock them though I do wish there was a dropdown menu instead of having to scroll through every one of them to find the new ones you unlock. Music is EXCELLENT and a definite highlight of the game. I'd give it a good 8/10 and a recommendation for fans of 8-bit style action games.
Mano do céu, que jogo BOOOM! Muito divertido e gostoso de jogar. Poderes bem interessantes dos personagens, level design que faz o avanço do jogo ser bem legal. Consegue ser dificil sem ser punitivo, sem usar dificuldade artificial. Muitos filtros de cores (da pra fazer o jogo parecer um game de gameboy color ou deixar cheio de cores) Joguinho muito divertido pra tirar o stress e jogar parelelo a outros jogos mais longos. Estou jogando a pouco tempo, mas realmente amei. Se fosse pra descrever esse game, eu diria que é a mistura de metroid com celeste. Os com os principais elementos de cada. Mas com identidade propria. e ainda tem Filtro CRT! Poxa, seria perfeito só um filtro de tela pra deixar a imagem curvada. Igual blasphemus por exemplo faz. acho que combinaria de mais com esse game. Mas pode ser que eu nao tenha olhado direito ainda, vou fuçar mais pra ver se tem a opção. Mas o game é incrivel. Estou jogando a pouco tempo, mas dá pra sentir a qualidade.

Простая, но наудивление занятная метройдвания, в ретро стилистике. Очень удивило разнообразие геймплейных ситуаций на разных этапах, и наличие двух концовок, зависящих не от душного собирательства, а от выполнения определенных условий во время прохождение. А еще музычка бодрая.
Not for me. I didn’t like the colors or visual style, and I especially disliked the Viridium system where you start with a low carrying capacity and have to find Airtight Containers around the world just to increase how much currency you can hold.
Fun game that only took about 6 hours to beat, and that was with me backtracking a few times a la metroidvania to buy some extra stuff. I paid less than 5 bucks for this and to me it was well worth it, though some people might find a dollar an hour to be less than valuable (though I come from a time when we used to spend a quarter to play SF2 for just a couple minutes, so this works for me). I do wish that there was more use for the "money" as your purse is often full with no use. There are plenty of characters to choose from, and lots of palettes to fit everyone's style. But the best aspect of this game is the MUSIC -- it is phenomenal! I found myself playing the game more than I normally would just to listen to the music. I hope a part 2 is in the pipeline, whether in this same style or more modern, as the story is great and there is plenty to expand upon. Well done devs!
It's a cheap and fun little metroidvania. Would be cool if achievements were more doable and content based though.
Solid gameplay & stylish aesthetics.
Raccomanded!
Excellent metroidvania game. It delivers a solid and fun experience, ideal for those looking for action and exploration with a retro touch.
Agree with who say this gameis broken and has control and mechanic issues, wannabe 90. Not even at 3€
