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
June 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 32 times in the 13 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.
Value puts it in the top 21 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine ($14.99, scores 83) outscores it, and so does Stick Fight: The Game ($4.99, scores 86). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The press gave it 68; the people who bought it give it 77 percent. A 9-point gap in the buyer's favour.
1 of the 302 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 37 percent of the 110 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

PixelJunk™ Nom Nom Galaxy scores 43/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/226100/pixeljunk-nom-nom-galaxyThe 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 22.
