The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.37, set in November 2022. 100 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The WereCleaner (free, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Ninja Stealth ($0.49, scores 29).

Critics scored it 65. Players sit 19 points higher at 84 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 375 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 1,140 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 52 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 1 hours. Doing everything runs 3, 2.6 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

A very cool but small zombie game that you have to complete with different levels and stars. I liked it and would recommend it!
