What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • Player count is unknown. We assumed a small player base, about 500 owners.

Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
Reviews92% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
For context
Length0.9 hours
How much game you get. Hours feed the value per dollar
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Rental (free, scores 72) beats it on value, while it beats Crisis: The Third Way (free, scores 69).

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 0.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements
