The value story
The lowest price on record is $1.24, set in September 2025. It has been discounted 31 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 3 days ago.
It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre. On the same math Nomad Survival ($3.49, scores 60) and NIMRODS ($9.99, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
13 of the 628 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 325 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

It definitely does something interesting with level progression - when each new level is different, and might require adjusting your strategy - so it keeps things fresh. That said...
while I'd love to pick apart all of the stuff this game did poorly, I'll instead tell you that three times while doing a run for "No Hands," the boss kill loot was spawned directly on top of me, negating my run. The boss kill loot, by the way, is totally useless--some level ups good for that run only, however mere moments after the boss death, you are yanked out of the game, yielding the reward fruitless.
