The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.79, set in June 2024. 25 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 11 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including No Man's Sky ($59.99, scores 71) and Into the Radius VR ($29.99, scores 80).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $25.43. It costs $6.99.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 8 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 17.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 326 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 245 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

Guys in the 14 hours of pain and torture of going through mazes and getting powerups to then go through more mazes i can say this game is amazing, if you want to infinitely torture yourself in an endless loop of squares and balls this is hella the game for you, 10/10
