Thinking Inside The Box
Short description
You play as a little, square guy trapped in a maze of cardboard boxes filled with a myriad of challenges. The rules are simple: move the diamonds to the appropriate pressure plates without letting different-colored diamonds touch—swap, push, and phase to complete levels as quickly as possible.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $4.99 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.

History
2 data points since Jul 30, 2026. Gaps mean nothing changed — the value carries forward.
The revenue curve is an estimate, not a measurement. It is the only calculated series here: each interval takes the review growth of that period, multiplies it by the sales-per-review factor and by the price actually charged at the time, and adds the result to the running total. That is why it climbs more slowly through discount periods than the review curve next to it. The last point is the same figure quoted above — gross, before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
Lowest recorded price: $4.99 on Jul 30, 2026. That is the current price.
