The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was September 2026. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 3 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 13 days ago. Past sales have already crossed the $11.68 BANGER line 9 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Poly Bridge ($9.99, scores 81) beats it on value, while it beats Plasma (free, scores 72).

This site sampled 376 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 163 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

9.8 hours to finish it, 34 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 3.5 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.8 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

メᵃʳᶜᵃᵈᵉ™ 💗Recommendedafter 1.1h6 found this helpfulRead on Steam
This a puzzle game, not a bridge building game. The first 30 or so levels are about building bridges and are really fun. The later levels devolve into gimmicky ramp levels that require specific angles. It becomes more trial and error and becomes very tedious. Go back to the first game.
