The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in March 2025. 42 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 60 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 7 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fruitbus ($24.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Paleo Pines ($29.99, scores 57).

Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 594 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 20 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 523 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 137 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

This game is so incredibly chill. Its so nice to play and just mindlessly do nothing. It does take some sort of brain power but not a whole lot, I think that's why I like this game so much. It didn't take 5 minutes to finish but it also didn't take 100 hours either. I continued to play even after finishing it because you are able to and it was fun to play. It has so many cute animals and stuff you can catch and...
