The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.79, set in November 2024. It has been discounted 24 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 10 weeks between sales. Today's $2.39 at 20 percent off still sits 34 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

This sale is doing real work. 90 at list, 94 today.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 81 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, Pictopix ($6.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Patrick's Parabox ($19.99, scores 74).

$3.81 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $2.39.

Of the 319 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 99 percent of the 1,249 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 88 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Cute puzzle game that can be done in a sitting but make no mistake, it does an absolutely brilliant job of stringing along discovery and keeps puzzles relatively engaging and rewarding. The more adept puzzler might not get as much as expected out of it, but I would still give it a general recommend as a fun "MetroidBrainia". Get to it!
