The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.19. That was April 2022. It has been discounted 45 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Golf Gang ($9.99, scores 55) outscores it, and so does Make Way ($14.99, scores 71). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to June 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 219 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 39 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.4 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
