The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.49, set in February 2021. It has been discounted 81 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Past sales have already crossed the $4.98 BANGER line 58 times.

Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, La-Mulana 2 ($24.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Oozi: Earth Adventure ($9.99, scores 57).

Critics scored it 79. Players sit 14 points higher at 93 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 15 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 5.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 328 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

Very good for backseat gaming as well, my gf and I both enjoyed it very much. Recommend highly. Vive la France
HolyPeakabooRecommendedafter 8.6hMay 2026Read on Steam
Awesome platformer. 100%ing it was stressful but very fun for the most part. For some reason, for the first 35 hours of this game, i hated it. The controls felt weird and inconsistent but after completing all the individual level speedruns i got the hang of it and didn't have much problem. I ended up having the most fun with the full game speedruns. The ink mechanic is very unique and fun, level designs are good...
