The value story

Its score puts it in the top 20 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Rivals of Aether ($29.99, scores 54) outscores it, and so does Lethal League ($13.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Cost per hour$2.04/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones. Scored as 80% after the small-sample adjustment
Refunds19 of 532 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
Early accessUnfinished
Still in development, a small confidence discount until 1.0

MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

I love it but they need to make Fancy Pants Man a playable character instead of just an assist trophy. He is too iconic of a childhood gaming character to be wasted on just being one of this game's 20~ assists also thanks to mods: JARONA
