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.

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.

直線状に立つと逃げる謎のモンスターを追い込んで、盤面にひとつ設置してある罠にまで移動させたらクリアのパズルです。逃げても壁に突き当てて動きを止めれば、ミスにはなりません。敵から視認されなくなる芝生などもあるのでうまく使ってモンスターの動きをコントロールします。 面白いパズルゲームでした。グラフィックや操作性、ゲームの世界観がいいし、ギミックも多く様々なパターンのレベルがある。パズルのルールはこの作品にしかないものだと思います。ひらめきを感じさせてくれるいい問題も多い。
Solid puzzle game. Obviously a lineage from Sokoban, but with a neat twist that renders the game a unique and interesting twist on the genre. Not too challenging, but will induce regular beard-scratches.
it's full of really cleverly designed puzzles, so i've been enjoying my time a lot! at about the halfway point the levels started to feel much snappier: it seemed to me that the difficulty took a backseat, to instead put a focus on the many ways the few elements the game introduced can be used creatively this made for some surprisingly quick, but also very fun and satisfying puzzle solving (though at the very end there were still some real challenges)

Quick Description: -Headlong Hunt is a really well designed, fun, and challenging puzzler. Of Mice and Moggies and Mooselutions are the two most similar games to Headlong Hunt. However, the main distinction is that in this game, the animal/alien runs away from you any time you are directly across from you on the grid. This very simple concept is executed near perfectly. There are really only 3 major mechanics added throughout this game, but the depth that this dev is able to achieve w/ this very simple premise, brilliantly all comes together over the 8-12 hr game. I just finished up both Altered and Room to Grow, which are both criminally underrated. I think this game is very similar in terms of quality and value, but I think this game might be slightly better than both of those two. This game has fells a bit more polished and has better pacing from start to finish. Consensus: -Solid Game (Tier 3 and makes up 35% of my reviews). This is a must play for sokoban fans. While I don't think this is the most innovative game out there, it makes up for it w/ a really well balanced experience that pushes the simple mechanics to their fullest potential. It's an easy game to understand, but does offer some really thought provoking and challenging levels in the last half of the game when all the mechanics are combined. This is another really easy game to recommend.
[i]I received a free key of the game.[/i] This is a really neat puzzle game. I'm not great at sokoban/block pushing, but the concept of this was different enough that it worked well for me. The little flavor text notes were cute, and I loved the animation/sounds of the creature running into walls. There were a good amount of puzzles but the mechanics were simple, and the combinations of some of the mechanics made for some neat and tricky puzzles! There are no hints and at times I was wishing there was a hint system, but I was able to solve most levels that I got stuck on after taking a break (or skipping the level and coming back).
One of the best puzzlescript games, looking better than ever. I'm taking it slow my second time through, but this is a good one.
simple fun with challenging puzzles. well worth the price on sale
Underrated relaxing puzzle game with interesting mechanics.
全問クリア記念。ガイドなしでこれぐらい時間がかかりました。 基本ルールを忘れた頃に出題されたC28が曲者でした。
