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

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $5.99. That was November 2025. It has been discounted 49 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Manifold Garden ($19.99, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Nephise Begins ($0.99, scores 11).

Of the 484 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to July 2026.

At 3.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
