The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.24. That was June 2026. It has been discounted 14 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. Today's $3.49 at 30 percent off still sits 8 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is cheaper than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Boneraiser Minions ($4.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Extremely Powerful Capybaras ($4.19, scores 11).
Of the 437 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 1,148 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 34 percent of everything written about it.

This game is so cool and super addicting! When it comes to the type of game for me to just play in the background while watching something else, this is basically perfect. I have been experiencing some bugs though, mostly in the late game (at least on the native Linux version anyways). So hopefully those can get fixed at some point. Probably the most annoying bug I've seen so far is that hitting the X for the Smiley...
