What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $0.28, set in December 2022. Its cuts run 51 percent off as a rule. There have been 95 in the 9 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 90 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Pikuniku ($12.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Haunt the House: Terrortown ($4.99, scores 67).
This site sampled 401 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 924 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 744 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 75 percent of everything written about it.

If I had to judge this game purely based on its achievements, it would be a masterpiece. If I have to judge it by the gameplay it offers, then it becomes paid torture. The problem is not even the basic idea, which could actually work, but the hitboxes of the shapes mixed with the ball physics, apparently imported from another universe. The result is that completing the levels feels almost entirely based on luck...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Reflex scores 70/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/745740/reflexThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
