The value story

January 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $3.24. 30 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $3.24 at 35 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Himno (free, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats Karate Survivor ($1.49, scores 62).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 363 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
