How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read

Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 85 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Bit Blaster XL ($0.59, scores 96) beats it on value, while it beats Beat Hazard 2 ($5.69, scores 62).

It is still busy. 45 players were online when we last checked, on Oct 15, 05:48 UTC, across 14 days of weekly checks. Free to start. It takes its money later, through currency and free-to-grind.
