What drives the score

How to read this

Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in July 2021. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 27 in the 5 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, BOKURA ($2.74, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats ibb & obb ($11.99, scores 73).

17 of the 699 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 490 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 215 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 5,493 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

At 3.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

A fun game to fool around with friends in, which is everything that it aspires to be! The multiplayer works very smoothly and I personally find the alien cats very adorable as designs and the game's puzzle-work the right amount of complex to be enjoyable when you're playing as a metaphorical group of barely-herded space-cats!

Its just a charming make you hate your friends game. The controls can sometimes feel off but other than that this game has more content then you would expect for something like this and it always does different things that you don't expect it to do. I think if you want something to do with your friends this is a great option.

fun party game, played with 4 year old nieces and 50 year old parents and both had fun. Really simple but fun game for anyone and everyone

The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.

Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 23.
