What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach1.5M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds20 of 587 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

This game would be really fun if my friends haven't been heavily affected by the ongoing literacy crisis
PoesWurmpieRecommendedafter 2.3h25 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Played with my epic gf, she plays in Korean so I had to use the Korean guide for some puzzles (I can barely read Hangeul). Still managed to lock in and complete the harder bombs because she's smart and yells at me and hits me when I take too long. Highly motivated to improve my Korean now.
