What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews78% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$0.68/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length12 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds7 of 591 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

March 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 24 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 4 days ago.

It is cheaper than 70 percent of its genre. On the same math Necrosmith ($2.99, scores 66) and Wall World ($6.99, scores 76) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 591 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 173 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

ehhh its fun but it gets pretty repetitive after completing the first world, not enough progression for me.

game is really poorly done, fps drops to single digits beyond the first level through normal gameplay YET SOMEHOW doesnt use more than 40% of cpu, memory or gpu (so its not an issue where running out of resorces is the fault) oh and bug reporting doesnt work either, so no refunds cause you wont see this issue until after the first level. huge disappointment, which sucks cause the game is genuinely fun, it's just...
Mineman214Not recommendedafter 9.9hJul 2026Read on Steam
Doesn't matter how neat the game is. You cannot release a game with this kind of sound design, where you have units CONSTANTLY spam casting their abilities with INSANE sound effects. If you have two Pharaos, you literally have to play the game on mute. It feels like they've not even played their own game or play tested it, cause it's impossible that anyone who have would find this acceptable.
