The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.59. That was November 2022. It has been discounted 45 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today's $0.77 at 87 percent off still sits 31 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

This sale is doing real work. 79 at list, 86 today.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 95 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Wizorb ($2.99, scores 28) and VirtuaVerse ($14.99, scores 53).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $4.14. It costs $0.77.

2 of the 329 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to August 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
