The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.77, set in December 2025. 118 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 66 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $1.97. The record reaches that level 50 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Arcade Moonlander ($0.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats BIT.TRIP RUNNER ($9.99, scores 50).

5 of the 326 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 388 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 35 percent of everything written about it.
