The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.99. That was September 2024. 57 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Circle of Sumo: Online Rumble! (free, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Slapshot: Rebound (free, scores 59).

Critics scored it 60. Players sit 33 points higher at 93 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 344 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 335 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 45 percent of everything written about it.
