The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Got at a deep discount of $2, but the technical issues ruin what the otherwise enjoyable puzzle game. Every once in a while, the game decides that most things aren't clickable anymore Even worse: if you're in fullscreen mode, semi-crashes and takes over whatever screen it's on. Couldn't even task manager it closed due I realize my experience probably isn't the norm, but still frustrating.
