The value story
August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. It has been discounted 28 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 2 days ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.93. The record reaches that level 7 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hello Kitty Island Adventure ($39.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Paleo Pines ($29.99, scores 57).
Critics scored it 77. Players sit 21 points higher at 98 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
1 of the 366 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 98 percent of the 167 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 3.7 hours. Doing everything runs 8, 2.2 times as long.
At 3.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
This was one of my favorite games I've played in a long time. It's the perfect combination of an underwater Powerwash Simulator and a small-scale Subnautica (but every creature is some variation of an axolotl). The style is SO charming and despite the fact the game is relatively short, it's so easy to fall in love with. I got this game on sale, but I absolutely think I'd pay full price.
Befriend the Loddle. Give the Loddle a bath. Drop a sick underwater beat with your new best friend, the Loddle. ...Also clean up the ocean or something.
