What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $8.03, set in July 2024. It has been discounted 27 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 9 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 21 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Garry's Mod ($9.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Fun with Ragdolls: The Game ($14.99, scores 38).

Fireworks Mania - An Explosive Simulator scores 62/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). Length is estimated at 6 hours, not measured, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1079260/fireworks-mania-an-explosive-simulatorThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 18, price as of Sep 24.
