The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.59, set in March 2024. 13 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Zup! 5 ($1.99, scores 85) and Zup! 8 ($1.99, scores 93), are both worse buys on this math.

The math says it holds its tier up to $4.39, and you are being asked for $1.99.

This site sampled 733 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 11 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 97 percent of the 8,723 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 58 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Good little brain tester. Worth the purchase! 800 achievements for you hunters! <3

This game is a really good game for custom achievements for profile customization. There are lots of different color options for letters, numbers, and symbols. It is pretty easy to learn and only takes about 1-2 hours if you are only buying for the achievements. 10/10
