The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.24. That was February 2026. 13 discounts in the 14 months on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. It becomes a BANGER at $4.33, a level the record has reached 13 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Keep on Mining! - Worlds ($6.99, scores 59) and The Plan (free, scores 82), are both worse buys on this math.

Steam's global achievement data puts 74 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 4 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 213 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
