## What is Dockside?

Most games on sale aren't worth your time. Dockside shows only the ones that are.

A game on sale makes the list when its Switch version has a Metacritic score of 88 or more, or Steam players rate it "Overwhelmingly Positive". Loosen or tighten the bar whenever you like.

WHAT YOU GET
• A short list instead of the whole sale: every deal shows its review score, play time, release year, price, discount and the days left in the sale.
• Your own bar: set a Metacritic minimum and a Steam rating, choose whether a game needs one or both, and narrow by play length, release year, price and more. Or search every game.
• A page for every game: its scores, play time, sale end date and price history, then open it in the eShop.
• Wishlist alerts: add a game and get a notification when it goes on sale.
• Your library: mark the games you own and they drop out of your deals. Your profile sums up their hours of play and genres.
• Deal digest: an optional notification, at most one every two days, when top-rated games go on sale. Each kind of notification can be turned on or off on its own.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
Dockside works from the first launch. No sign-up, no email. If you want, back up your account with Apple or Google to keep your lists on a new phone.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Dockside is free with small banner ads, and that includes sale alerts for up to 10 wishlist games. Premium is optional: it removes the ads, allows up to 500 wishlist games, alerts you when a game reaches a target price you set, and sends a daily alert when a new deal passes your own filter. Monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase.
