What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

The value story

November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.38. Its cuts run 87 percent off as a rule. There have been 68 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 48 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 69 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Zup! F ($1.99, scores 88) and Zup! Z ($1.99, scores 96) both outscore it.

This site sampled 525 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 262 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
