What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
July 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. Its cuts run 90 percent off as a rule. There have been 122 in the 13 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 4 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 29 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Morphopolis ($3.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Plug & Play ($3.99, scores 35).
50 from critics against 77 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
None of the 415 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 967 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 61 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
While the hand-drawn visual style is undeniably cute and unique, the actual point-and-click puzzles are a frustrating mess. You'll spend more time wandering around clicking random objects out of sheer confusion than actually enjoying the game. Sadly, it's a style-over-substance miss.
Got it as part of a big discounted bundle and would definitely not recommend it at full price. It's a small and simple game, which is fine, but it just isn't particularly memorable or interesting - gameplay or otherwise. There are plenty of better point and click games to spend your time on.
In Gomo you play John Wick, a man who does everything in his power to kill the murderers of his dog. Only, in this case they only kidnapped the dog, so you can save it! Ehm... let me start again, I feel I went a little too far... Gomo is a cute, short point and click adventure. The art style is really nice, music is good, the humour is good, and you can beat the game in less than two hours. Enigmas and puzzles are...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Gomo scores 44/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/265330/gomoThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 20, price as of Sep 24.
