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
Reviews87% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach150K+ 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$1.72/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
Refunds8 of 723 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

The lowest price on record is $12.99, set in June 2026. It has been discounted 9 times in the 17 months tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 12 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pikuniku ($12.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Carry The Glass ($4.99, scores 37).

8 of the 723 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 457 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

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

VERY FUN GAME! Super polished, the music is great, and the mini games (specifically meowtopia) provide a good amount of fun and reasons to keep playing them if you're chasing high scores. Played this all the way through with my wife and we had a blast. Little to no bugs and if any just a simple restart from check point fixed it (this only happened once). The puzzles aren't extremely hard but still very fun to engage...

This game, together with Cygames plethora of Granblue Fantasy spin-offs, proves that any gacha company that doesn't make normal, high quality games simply isn't interested in actually making them with love and care instead of only aiming for profits. I don't see Hoyoverse ever making a game with this level of care without predatory monetization behind it. Not only that, but Hypergryph already had credit for making...

Heads up to not end up like the people in all the negative reviews : The game is most enjoyable through local play, or Steam Remote Play with a solid internet connection on both ends. Puzzles are timing-sensitive and it *will* be frustrating if Player 2 has high ping. Other than that ? Really cool puzzle-platformer ! We had a lot of fun and I think it is great value on sale. Takes about 10 hours to final boss and...
