The value story

May 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $19.99. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 5 months tracked here, most recently in June 2026. The math puts its BANGER price at $7.06. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Beatblock ($11.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Mash Box (free, scores 60).

30 of the 687 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2026 to October 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 21 of 249 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 2,135 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 2.5 hours. Doing everything runs 22, 8.9 times as long.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
