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 $0.49, set in June 2022. 107 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 85 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 80 percent off still sits 102 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 25 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Pixel Puzzles Ultimate Jigsaw Puzzles (free, scores 42) beats it on value, while it beats Streamer Life Simulator ($19.99, scores 38).

What players say
Decent puzzle game. The artworks tend to be nostalgic and basic but still nice to see. The pieces in this entry can rotate and have various shapes so keep that in mind if you don't like it as finding the correct orientation can be annoying.
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.

Pixel Puzzles 2: Anime scores 41/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/350810/pixel-puzzles-2-animeThe 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 Sep 22, price as of Sep 24.
