  • Space Grunts: Chrono Shard Out Now! - 22 June 2026

    Orangepixel's time-loop tactical retro shooter lands on Steam, merging high-stakes tactical depth with high-velocity retro-arcade energy into one galactic experience. In Space Grunts: Chrono Shard, a sentient Ooze is devouring the galaxy, hopping through a hijacked network of deep-space HyperGates. As part of the Space Grunts’ elite tactical unit, players deploy into procedurally generated space stations and moon bases trapped in "time bubbles." To survive, players must harness the power of the Chrono Shard, a device that allows them to manipulate time, rewrite their past mistakes, and outmaneuver a dynamic galactic threat. Space Grunts: Chrono Shard redefines turn-based tactical gameplay by abandoning slow-paced menu navigation in favor of immediate, rapid-fire strategy. The game introduces the Chrono Loop, a persistent time-travel mechanic where items placed, resources scavenged, or e…

  • Post NEXT Fest Demo update - 5 March 2026

    Hello Grunts, Pascal here!I just pushed a new version of the DEMO after collecting feedback from Steam Next Fest and incorporating all the improvements that have been going into the Beta playtest sessions.What changed:Overall darkness has become a little brighter, also extended your view-circle so that in open rooms and area's you can see more of your surroundings.Added a Brightness setting, check the options menu to access it. Allows you change the overal brightness of the game (great for Steam Deck players playing in sunny environments).Teleporters, once activated, will stay activated during a Chrono Loop (time-reset). This removes some "grinding" feeling on larger levels, it also adds more interesting tactical choices in regards to which teleporter room you want to reach first - and it makes the most of your time-loop powers!The Supply room will now contain a Craft desk 90% of the ti…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $15.99
  • Highest observed: $15.99

Space Grunts: Chrono Shard's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $15.99, the highest is $15.99, and the first visible tracked price is $15.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Space Grunts: Chrono Shard's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $15.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $15.99. The latest run records $15.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $15.99
  • Current list price: $15.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Space Grunts: Chrono Shard at $15.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
