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
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.
Raising the score
ValueFree
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews96% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
For context
Length0.2 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score
