Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cuphead ($19.99, scores 80) beats it on value, while it beats RIVE ($14.99, scores 49).

1.1 hours to finish it, 3 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.7 times the campaign.
