The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.49. That was February 2017. It has been discounted 68 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 45 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians ($9.99, scores 37) outscores it, and so does No Time To Explain Remastered ($14.99, scores 43). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This site sampled 218 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 386 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 60 percent of everything written about it.
