The value story

October 2020 is where it bottomed out, at $0.98. It has been discounted 56 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 67 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 79 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Leaf Blower Revolution - Idle Game (free, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats OneShift ($4.99, scores 42).

This site sampled 465 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, 81 percent of the 151 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

One of the best idle games ever made! One of the few idle games with an ending and actual pacing.

Pretty good! Worth the price and is a competent little incremental game that doesn't overstay it's welcome. The sound and graphic design are definitely its strong suit, and delivers a nice aesthetic package. The story (yep, it has a story and even a proper ending) is pretty good and starts out sane and then goes into really wacky and fun directions.
