The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was February 2026. It has been discounted 21 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today's $2.49 at 75 percent off still sits 152 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

At full price it scores 66. The current cut is what makes it a 71.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pikuniku ($12.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Braid, Anniversary Edition ($19.99, scores 55).

This site sampled 407 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 225 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 9.2 hours. Doing everything runs 32, 3.4 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

KarmaZoo is a masterpiece. It was so awesome to be a part of this community while it was still active. But as the game's online player base dropped a while ago, I would not recommend buying this game if you are playing alone. It is highly advisable to play with at least 6 people to have lots of fun with this game. If you can gather a party of 10, you will understand what it was alike. In the past, you only had to...

Genuinely, Such A Cool Game Concept But The Objectives For Some Characters They Really Needed You To Greed To Complete Them If There's Someone Else With The Same Character. Not To Mention Not Being Able To Play Locally Through The Main Mode Or Make Your Own Server So That You Can Get Your Friends Together. I Haven't Played This Game In Years And Updates Slowed Down To A Halt Quickly After The February Update But...

Sadly not recommended anymore. The game's core function was to embark on online adventures with different people to reach a common goal, however, the number of active players is approaching 0 and the game is just not made for singleplayer or couch coop. (couch coop is a different game mode, not the main "adventure" mode)
