The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in March 2025. 16 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $7.49 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record. No sale on record has reached $5.37, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

This sale is doing real work. 67 at list, 79 today.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 90 percent of its genre. It outscores the games it most resembles, including The Hong Kong Massacre ($19.99, scores 24) and Goobies ($2.15, scores 71).

This site sampled 414 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 546 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 6 hours. Doing everything runs 39, 6.5 times as long.

At 6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
