The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in November 2025. It has been discounted 33 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 62 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.71. The record reaches that level 26 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Super Meat Boy ($14.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats One Gun Guy ($4.99, scores 16).

Steam's global achievement data puts 21 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 3 of the 359 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 331 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.

2.5 hours to finish it, 9 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.4 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
