The value story
The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in December 2025. It has been discounted 28 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history. No sale on record has reached $3.08, the price it would take to be a BANGER.
At full price it scores 65. The current cut is what makes it a 77.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Buddy Simulator 1984 ($9.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Toki Tori 2+ ($14.99, scores 58).
None of the 349 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 166 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
