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
The lowest price on record is $0.05, set in October 2015. It has been discounted 78 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 83 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It is cheaper than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Yooka-Laylee ($19.99, scores 40) and Pikuniku ($12.99, scores 76) both outscore it.
Steam's global achievement data says about 7 percent of players ever finish it. On a 1.1-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 874 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 63 percent of everything written about it.

I really wanted to like this game. It's cute, and it's got a great aesthetic and some nice 3d platforming. It could use a little more story, but it's pretty good for a single dev game. But the platforming part is just bad. The camera is really iffy. The controls feel really slippery. Then there's an ice level that amplifies it. By reducing friction? I'm not sure. In a way that doesn't feel like an ice level should...

Woodle Tree Adventures scores 19/100 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/299460/woodle-tree-adventuresThe 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 Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
