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

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Soda Dungeon 2 (free, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats Mr.Mine (free, scores 77).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 140 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

4.6 hours to finish it, 140 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 30 times the campaign.

It is still busy. 72 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking. Free to start. It takes its money later, through boost and unlock.

[![BANG Score](https://steambangers.com/api/badge/564710)](https://steambangers.com/game/564710/soda-dungeon)

The 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 17.
