The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in February 2025. 33 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, DELTARUNE ($24.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Everhood 2 ($11.99, scores 39).

The press gave it 83; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts 50 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 18 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,337 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 779 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 6.6 hours; clearing it takes 22, which is 3.3 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.6 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

It's a really good game with a deeper meaning, even tho it's short. The fights and song are also really cool. Definetly would recommend. Deserves to not be niche fr.

gameplay had very challenging but fair difficulty and option to change if needed, though its normal mode was perfect to play casually whilst learning to improve.

what i thought was a cute and funny music based game was a therapeutic experience on par with psychedelics.
