The value story

August 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.49. It has been discounted 38 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 23 percent on value. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, BIT.TRIP RUNNER ($9.99, scores 50) beats it on value, while it beats Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians ($9.99, scores 37).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 163 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 50 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 1.7 hours; clearing it takes 10, which is 6.0 times the campaign.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

The best part of this game is that it has a name my Husky can pronounce. The worst part is that they'd rather sequelize than just turn new track compilations into DLC. I never argue ON BEHALF of DLC, but if you're going to be the Wipeout XL of rhythm games, in the vein of Guitar Hero, it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is launching an entirely different but exactly the same game to play more of exactly these...
