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

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.79, set in December 2024. 29 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is the best reviewed of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Seal World ($4.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip ($17.99, scores 70).

Of the 322 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 5 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 97 percent of the 513 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 41 percent of everything written about it.
