The value story

May 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 32 in the 3 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 26 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Here Comes Niko! ($24.99, scores 54) and The Spirit and the Mouse ($6.39, scores 87) both outscore it.

This site sampled 446 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 159 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

Very cute and fun game, I absolutely loved it! I was able to turn my mind off and just play. I wish there was more to it, because I didn't want to stop playing it!

it's cute but incredibly short and absolutely not worth the full price it's listed as.
