What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.99, set in May 2014. It has been discounted 49 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, 10,000,000 ($4.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Evoland ($2.49, scores 54).
75 from critics against 86 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 1 percent of players ever finish it. On a 4.8-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 344 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.
4.8 hours to finish it, 25 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.2 times the campaign.

What players say
It feels like someone zipped up an entire adventure into a tiny file and hit play.
This game is one of my favorite games. The gameplay is incredible unique and offers multible ways to solve a problem, you have 30 seconds to defeat the "boss" you get to rewind but only if your careful and paying attention to the time. the soundtrack (game, what game? your telling me you DON'T just stay in the main menu listening to the BANGER of the song) it is sooo good i'd buy just for the soundtrack while...
Really fun and interesting game. Make sure to play with retro visuals as not only are the redrawn graphics bad, they won't let you play the full versions of modes other than Hero 30. Also, make sure to do every mode in order. There's more story than you would expect from the initially goofy premise.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy scores 65/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/214830/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-ultimate-boyThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 6, price as of Sep 24.
