What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Action game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.99. That was December 2015. 42 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 16 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 13 percent on value. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, CastleStorm ($9.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Ratty Catty ($14.99, scores 11).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 148 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

The drop-off

86% start to 1% rarest
050100rarestfirst achievement

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic).
