The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.35, set in July 2023. It has been discounted 61 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 45 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
It is cheaper than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Woodle Tree Adventures ($3.99, scores 19) and One Hand Clapping ($14.99, scores 49) both outscore it.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 225 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 68 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 0.1 hours; clearing it takes 0, which is 3.0 times the campaign.
