The value story
August 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. Its cuts run 66 percent off as a rule. There have been 29 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 56 weeks ago.
On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, TY the Tasmanian Tiger ($14.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Rez Infinite ($24.99, scores 53).
8 of the 487 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 180 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 5.5 hours; clearing it takes 19, which is 3.5 times the campaign.
At 5.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
i love this game oh my god everything about it to its artstyle too its gameplay it really is amazing
FYI: if you're prone to migraines, you might need to take several breaks like i did. there's a lot of flashing lights (especially when graffitis get added to your log) and the movement + camera controls are a bit jittery. the game is short (5-10h) and easy to finish though, so don't let that stop u :-] i think this is best described as "fun"! cast, worldbuilding, gameplay are lighthearted and full of whimsy that...
Lovable characters and banger tracks. As a rhythm game enthusiast, I absolutely adored this game!
