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 Aug 5 → 0.14/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.

[b][i]Экшен + платформер + метроидвания. Помоги пещерному чуваку вернуть обед, украденный у него гигантским динозавром![/i][/b] Геймплей: https://youtu.be/NvJAv3s042I Оголодавшему чуваку придется найти особые предметы, дающих специальные способности, чтобы попасть в закрытые области, исследовать доисторический мир, сразиться с боссами и вернуть свой обед. Кроме особых предметов чувак подбирает метательные топоры, ключи и фрукты. Поскольку чувак мясоед, то пополнять здоровье может только окорочками, а фрукты тут – местная валюта. Геймплей усложняют многочисленные прыжки с цеплянием за стены и то, что врагов убить можно только метательными топорами, запас которых сильно ограничен (их можно найти в траве и в сундуках). + Игра подходит как взрослым, так и детям. + Юмористичный, мультяшный стиль. + Симпатичная графика и отличная музыка. + Забавный главный герой и доисторические создания. + Открытый мир с тремя разными зонами. + 7 особых предметов и куча сундуков с сокровищами. + 3 босса. + Достижения.

The good: The music The bad: everything else. Typos all over, With regards to controls you have to choose between terrible unchangeable keyboard binds or unresponsive gameplay with a controller. Poor gameplay design... Although the game is cheap and is therefore expected to be short, 2 hours of gameplay is still very little content for the price of 5 dollars. If you're reading this, you are a huge metroidvania fan who has reached the bottom of the barrel and hoping there are still a few more metroidvanias worth playing. There might be some, but this game is definitely not one of them.

Jogo simples porém divertido, arte dele é muito bonita. É um bom Metroidvania.
Ham is love. Ham is life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc0XilUQfXU If you want to see Prehistoric Dude in action, watch my video. As a simple game in the retro style, Prehistoric Dude's greatest strength may be how open the map is despite its small size. While you'll have to get keys and items, you have your choice of directions to search, and each area is self-contained despite the openness. Want to go to the room above you? Below you? To your right? Usually each one is an option. There are some odd design choices, such as limited ammo. You'll get random drops while walking through grass, but once something drops, you have to turn around to go grab it. Automatically grabbing on to one-tile high walls is annoying. The control is better than the retro games we know and love, but it's still finicky. Prehistoric Dude is a charming and simple metroidvania. I almost want to think of it more as a platformer, something like if Ducktales had been a metroidvania.
Pretty short and fairly easy, but it's cute and it was fun. Hope the team that made it continues to grow and produce more.
Good game. It is exactly what it looks like and is sold as being. A mini metroidvania.
Fun casual difficulty metroidvania. Short game with about 2 hrs worth of content. Can be played and completed in one sitting. The controls are good and the enemy units are fun. I love developer lightUp's range of short games and I'm glad to see many releases from them. The game is slightly buggy when it comes to collision detection but doesn't affect your gameplay too much.
Primeiro metroidvania que termino na minha vida, curti demaais! Perfeito pra speedrun.
un jeu de troglodyte. beaux graphismes et musique. Bon chèque. amusant 7
Fun aesthetically but awful gameplay wise. Your only attack is limited by ammo. I spent more time running back and forth between room farming ammo than I did actually playing the game. Its not worth killing any enemy unless you absolutely have to. I dont understand how this was an acceptable design choice. Going into my metroidvania tier list in D. 100% skip this.
