It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was May 2026. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 25 in the 3 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 6 days ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $1.26. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

On value it sits in the top 7 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gourdlets ($4.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Airborne Kingdom ($24.99, scores 51).

This site sampled 502 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 14 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2024 to August 2026.
