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 $0.99, set in February 2017. It has been discounted 61 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today's $0.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 89. With it, 97.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Zuma Deluxe ($4.99, scores 93) and Zuma's Revenge! ($4.99, scores 91), are both worse buys on this math.
The math says it holds its tier up to $6.14, and you are being asked for $0.99.
3 of the 533 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 96 percent of the 2,246 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 4.1 hours; clearing it takes 33, which is 8.1 times the campaign.

What players say
Peggle saved my life and it will save yours too. I love Peggle. We love Peggle. Pegging is a necessity.
Great game, I recommend it, however, I do have to point out that Jimmy Lighting's backed by Israel, so, just a little heads up before you play this game.
Peggle has changed my life for the better in every way possible I use to point my revolver at my head now I point it at the orange pegs that walk around me.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Peggle Deluxe scores 97/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/3480/peggle-deluxeThe 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.
