Cavatus

Short description

The war against Professor Zor was won, but the price was high. Technologies were destroyed. Only a few ancient flying machines remain. Professor Zor might still be alive and start another war. You must prevent that!

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $2.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
