How to read this

Reviews74% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds13 of 481 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

December 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.24. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 56 in the 9 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 30 percent on value. A Difficult Game About Climbing ($6.49, scores 70) outscores it, and so does Ambidextro ($7.99, scores 92). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This site sampled 481 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 304 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 13 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 614 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 42 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

it has taken me 93 minutes and 1800 hits to get past the three colored steps after the tree and re-realize this isn't golf: You can hit the ball mid air many times as long as you haven't hit anything else. I legit forgot about that. The stroke counter is called "Hits." The ball is made of plastic with how not-bouncy it is. A normal golf ball would bounce with only like a 10-30% loss when hitting stone. This ball has...

Golfing Over It with Alva Majo is an unforgiving physics-based climbing experience developed and published by Majorariatto, built around a deceptively simple concept that quickly transforms into a serious test of patience and determination. Players control a golf ball attempting to climb an enormous obstacle-filled mountain using carefully aimed shots, where every movement can either create momentum toward success...
