The value story

November 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. It has been discounted 33 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago. No sale on record has reached $4.50, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cavern of Dreams ($12.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Kao the Kangaroo ($29.99, scores 32).

7 of the 426 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 301 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

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

Solid enough platformer with a nice pacman coat of paint. A good game to zone out to. Would recommend picking up if it's on sale. Runs great on steam deck.

Through 100%ing this game, I feel like I played it 3 times over. 2 twice forward, and once backward. So, so often you have to grab a fruit, backtrack to a door, open it, then go forward again through the same platforming challenge. Pac Man feels kinda awkward to control at times since he has no momentum, and the levels range from good (fun house) to mediocre (everything else). Honestly, aside from the soundtrack...
