Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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/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 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.

more like i love blastin backwards lol holy crap this game is nuts in the best way. its like doom had a baby with geometry wars n timetravel graphics r old skool but in that cool retro way. enemies everywhere n stuff blowin up left n right gameplay loop is tight af. shoot, dodge, blow stuff up, repeat. sounds simple but its addictive as hell time travel stuff keeps it fresh. one min ur in wild west next ur in future. never gets old roguelite elements on point. each run feels different n kept me comin back for more music slaps harder than my drunk uncle at a wedding 9/10 cant stop playin send help. or more ammo. srsly tho buy this game if u like fun n hate sleep
It is really fun to run backwards. hehe. Anyway, it is a flipped bullet hell game, so kinda unique AFAIK

survivors before vampires
Я хз как связаны Serious Sam и эта инди-игра. Но в принципе идея бежать задом и отстреливать врагов здоровская. А вот притянутость вселенной не очень нравится.
Otro juego Alternativo del Universo serious sam no hecho por Croteam (similar al DOuble D), en este caso es una entrega muy buena, geniales graficos, sonidos, musica, ritmo frenetico, jugabilidad y variacion de enemigos y mapas destacable, lo mismo que de personajes y Powerups. Podes encima tener cooperativo online, Con remote Play y hasta local!! Tiene logros, cloud y Cromos lo que dan mayor valor al titulo. Ademas claro de la tabla de clasificacion de Steam como para comparar un poco estadisticas. Quizas la duracion es algo corta y faltarian algunos modos, por no mencionar un cooperativo de mas de 2 personas o desde ya un Workshop, pero el titulo es EXCELENTE y si te gusto la saga Serious Sam, como "extra", este esta bueno jugarlo. 9.5/10 - Buen FPS isometrico, aunque si no fuese por la tematica Serious Sam, hay que reconocer que seria un poco menos atractivo.
It's alright for a runner, wish I had friends to play this with though :D
I love it... its a fun shooter arcade style game that runs backwards... if you like serious sam you will like this
So very bland and boring.
