The value story
It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was September 2025. It has been discounted 17 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. No sale on record has reached $4.92, the price it would take to be a BANGER.
On value it sits in the top 21 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, One-armed robber (free, scores 73) beats it on value, while it beats Battle Cry of Freedom ($10.00, scores 29).
The press gave it 81; the people who bought it give it 93 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.
12 of the 447 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 382 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
At 3.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

This game has by far one of the most unique gameplay systems I have ever seen. Every level feels like a puzzle with like 30 different answers. Also the style of this game is insanely cool.
