The value story

September 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $1.79. 34 discounts in the 7 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 9 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $5.88. The record reaches that level 32 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Landlord of the Woods ($0.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats 100 hidden cats ($0.99, scores 72).

This site sampled 310 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to September 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

94% start to 12% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Fun logic game! Easy to backtrack when you've made the wrong moves, and keep trying until you figure out the right order. Great balance of amusing graphics, variety, and challenging but not too difficult puzzles.
