The value story
It has never been cheaper than $8.49. That was June 2024. It has been discounted 20 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $11.99 at 25 percent off still sits 41 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 9 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Binding of Isaac ($2.24, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats Cultivation Story: Reincarnation ($9.99, scores 75).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 580 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 417 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
If you are reading this review, download the demo, the full game is that and much more, very fun game! It's not a forever game like TBOI since after you beat most things it can get a bit boring but until you do, and even after if you enjoy the game, it's very entertaining to find ways of breaking the game.
The crafting system is deep, if by deep you mean you'll dig a hole and fall into a bug. Graphics scream 2014 asset flip cosplaying as charming retro style. The magic spells are wildly creative, assuming you love clicking a button and watching a sparkle particle die of embarrassment. Would I recommend it? Sure, if you enjoy paying full price to beta test someone's hobby project. Buy it on sale, apologize to your...
Does not work on the steam machine with the steam controller. Can not swap spells in staff with the controller no matter how it is configured.
