The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in June 2022. It has been discounted 100 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Past sales have already crossed the $5.35 BANGER line 71 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 90 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Bleed ($4.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Blazing Chrome ($16.99, scores 55).

Critics scored it 82. Players sit 12 points higher at 94 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 343 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 135 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

3.2 hours to finish it, 16 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 4.9 times the campaign.

What players say

Absolutely love this game. Pink Hour and Pink Heaven were also great little prequels. Kero Blaster has the gameplay feel of Cave Story but is a much simpler and more light-hearted game. The Normal Mode was already a challenge but I will certainly try to continue to get the most out of this game. Hope there's more games in this universe eventually! EDIT: Well, Zangyou mode overall was great. Basically a Kero Blaster...

The jump is the worst part of this. Most of my trouble in the game came just from it, especially in hard mode. The final boss of hard mode is a marathon of multiple phases that restart if you die, and because of the jump, it's actually miserable.as it has instant death pits. Bosses can and will crush you. This is bad. But it's a generally fun game.
