The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.55, set in December 2024. 13 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $1.17. The record reaches that level 13 times.

Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Zup! 3 ($1.99, scores 79) and Zup! 7 ($1.99, scores 92) both outscore it.

Steam's global achievement data puts 66 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. 4 of the 399 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 5,816 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 70 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

After 10 years, I finally decided to get all the achievements. It only took me like 30 minutes while I was playing another game lol. I will finish the rest of the series too.
