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): 0.43/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0.29/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 13.8/day in the week to Jul 16 → 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.

This game is one of the more interesting spins put on the games of this genre and actually attempted to be different when everyone was imitating Vampire Survivors.
[b]Enjoyment: 85/100[/b] Time Wasters is a fantastic Vampire Survivors‑like that meaningfully expands the formula with smart additions that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. [b]Map Full of Meaningful Points of Interest[/b] The game scatters multiple points of interest across the map, each offering different benefits you’ll want to revisit regularly: - XP drop outposts - Meta‑currency and shop‑token outposts - A Supernova Outpost that wipes enemies on one screen - A Super Plasma Outpost that auto‑fires when you’re nearby - A map‑wide XP magnet outpost - A Hull repair station - A shop Most of these locations operate on cooldowns, so while waiting you’re encouraged to move toward the big gold planet, which boosts XP gain as long as you stay close. This creates a natural rhythm of constant movement—unlike Vampire Survivors, which hardly incentivizes leaving your spot. [b]Captains, Weapons, and Progression[/b] The game features 12 captains, each with a unique main weapon system. You can add additional weapons and captains during a run, which buffs their weapon types in various ways and adds a nice layer of build variety. Meta progression is satisfying and well‑paced. You can upgrade: - All 12 captains - Shields and hull - XP and meta‑currency drop rates - Cooldowns and rewards for the various map outposts There are also achievements tied to survival milestones. After beating the final boss, each captain gets additional challenges that encourage continued play. [b] Things to improve [/b] My only real wish is that the game included sexier waifu character art.

10/10, sorry for the short review, need to get back to this game!!!
with as much as is going on in game at any given moment, I'm firstly amazed that I never had even a blip of lag or game stutter. This game, the design, the balance, the mechanics, the implementation is SMOOOOTH. The difficulty is beautifully balanced, enough randomness that you can't just instantly optimized your way thru it, but enough control that you have to be strategic in your upgrade choices on same levels. Best Time Waster and best $5 I've spent in a long time.
Fun game to play for 20 or 40 minutes at a time. the progress is at a steady pace, really enjoyable. I recommend for casual fun gaming.
Game pays due to his name. Excellent time waster, fun, challenging and well developed. I will pour many hours in it, as it's a quick no commitment fun shooter
Lives up to its name in a good way.
wastes ur time good :-)
How have I not written a review of this yet? Noticed I hadn't while checking (hopefully ngl) to see if there was some DLC (hint hint, devs). Seems there was a pretty solid update recently, as I have a bunch of new quests to do! But onto the game! This is probably my favorite of the Zombie Survivor likes (or "bullet heaven" games). The way they actually utilize time- and specifically how beneficial wasting it is- is a really cool concept. Boutta play the game and gonna do a couple things first? Start the game, leave it on the main menu. It's worth doing. Rushing for the boss fight? Wrong move. Take your time. Kill everything you can. Max out your loot! This is just such a fun game. Simple runs, a solid amount of mixing and matching, and a really enjoyable loop!
Ho Ho Ho! This Game is Good! You should buy it, if you can- If I could have, I sure would! This Zone eats Time in No Short Span™- Yes, this Game has Hooks and Layers, It has a Depth but not too Much- This Zone is...Measured...for the Players, and has a Depth for Mind to Clutch. Work the Planets, find your Path. The Path doth change where Needs are Felt- Pump fave Stats, then cut Hard Swath- You may get Caned, but wield the Belt.
