The value story

June 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 51 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 11 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 42 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. On the same math Beat Saber ($19.99, scores 95) and BOXVR ($29.99, scores 34) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 200 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 701 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.

Highly recommend game! Still going strong in 2025! Ability to use own mp3 without any additional tools, makes this game even better! Want some good workout in VR.... PLAY IT!

good in its own right, but its track generation is what really elevates it. removes the roulette of whether a song i like has a chart in other rhythm games.
