The value story

June 2017 is where it bottomed out, at $3.74. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 87 in the 11 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 12 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove ($39.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats BIT.TRIP RUNNER ($9.99, scores 50).

4 of the 449 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 265 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.

5.3 hours to finish it, 31 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.9 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 5.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
