The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.55. That was December 2024. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 3 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart.
On value it sits in the top 8 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Zup! ($1.99, scores 75) outscores it, and so does qop ($1.99, scores 76). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
1 of the 448 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 661 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 47 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 0.5 hours; clearing it takes 2, which is 4.2 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 0.5 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
