The value story
It has never been cheaper than $5.59. That was September 2026. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 80 days tracked here, most recently in September 2026.
On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Paint Warfare (free, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Pool Nation FX Lite (free, scores 34).
This site sampled 357 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 270 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 326 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 75 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.
