What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
November 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. 68 discounts in the 10 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 50 percent off still sits 102 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Intergalactic Bubbles ($1.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Oozi: Earth Adventure ($9.99, scores 46).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 260 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 60 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 1.3 hours; clearing it takes 8, which is 6.3 times the campaign.

What players say
Простенький забавный платформер, убить три четыре часа самое оно! Пёсики, любите пёсиков?
It's really unfortunate that the online service for this game has been shut down. The game seems abandoned and outdated; furthermore, it's nearly impossible to create custom skins.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Turbo Pug DX scores 53/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/513780/turbo-pug-dxThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
