The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. It has been discounted 37 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago. Past sales have already crossed the $6.89 BANGER line 8 times.
Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tinykin ($24.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Hell Pie ($24.99, scores 56).
Steam's global achievement data puts 25 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. None of the 233 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 100 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
