The value story
The value story
Across all 40 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 25 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 78 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. The nearest things to it, Boneraiser Minions ($3.24, scores 85) and Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors ($9.99, scores 44), are both worse buys on this math.

15 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,176 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,033 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 9,105 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Dopaminemaxxxing The game is so rewarding and addictive. It shows that we don't need to make complicated games with complicated UI to make a great game. Pixel graphics also bring joy and catch the user's eye.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Way too much content and replayability for the price. Not my normal type of game but cant recommend it enough especially cor quick games since each round maxes out at 30 minutes.
Fun for a while. As you progress, it becomes less fun and more tedious with late game objectives. Just a mind numbing game designed to be nothing special, but simply addictive.
