The value story
It has never been cheaper than $12.99. That was October 2026. Its cuts run 25 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 14 months tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $12.99 at 35 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
This sale is doing real work. 88 at list, 95 today.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Kabuto Park ($3.49, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Cattails | Become a Cat! ($3.44, scores 93).
$22.88 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $12.99.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 5 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 17.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 572 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 380 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.
