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.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.59, set in July 2024. 80 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 90 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 29 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Transformice (free, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Notes of Soul ($29.99, scores 32).

None of the 415 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 513 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 54 percent of everything written about it.
