Discounts
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 Sep 8 → 0.43/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Jul 23 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Reviews
A better Star Fox than at least half of the Star Fox games. If you want new levels, characters, and enemies instead of another bland remake of SF64, this game is for you.
[h1]Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue...[/h1] TL;DR Buy It. It's good. Support indie devs. Especially the good ones! When I first played this during Early Access launch (back in 2022 I believe) I was amazed at an experience that finally captured some of Star Fox's magic. While it's not a 1:1 Star Fox experience (there is also some Space Harrier and Panzer Dragoon in there which I love anyways) it sucked me in effortlessly with its charm and polish. The developer has kept the updates rolling and they've all felt quality thus far. This is the exact kind of indie experience I want to support and I think it's completely worth the price tag! Sure Star Fox 64 will remain the crown jewel of this genre until the end of time, but that doesn't mean this game doesn't have value and merit on its own. Give it a shot!

Better than star fox
Loads of fun, I can't stop replaying levels to try and get higher ranks. The tone is a little more upbeat than Star Fox (the first boss almost looks like it's dancing to the music.) Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's complete!
If your a fan of the classic starfox or rail shooters in general I highly recommend this game. Its graphics harken back to the Super FX Chip days with a cast of characters in good old fashion 16 bit portraits, challenging levels with high speed space harrier style bonuse stages for those looking for a real challenge and much more to come. As a side knot just make sure your graphics cards up to date cause things can get real freeky as I found out the hard way.

A very well polished love letter to starfox, pop 'n' twinbee and various other 90's rail shooters as if someone installed a super fx chip into your pc. Really hope they finish it! Also what a phenomenal soundtrack.
Star Monkey Assault Adventures
i know its in early access, but this game is awesome! so many references , jokes , lovable characters. i could have sworn towards the end of the game ( as of 5/23/2026), there was some iridion 3D influence, with the the asteroid Boss level and one enemy in particular; that spins blue tri-beam blades. overall i cant wait till the levels are all finished!
Touhou but 3D and Sci-fi
