The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.49. That was June 2026. It has gone on sale once in the 3 months tracked here, most recently in June 2026. $3.85 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Chill Pulse ($4.99, scores 79) and Spilled! ($3.41, scores 79).

This site sampled 343 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 95 percent of the 711 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 51 percent of everything written about it.
