The value story

Across all 67 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $3.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Value puts it in the top 48 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre. Dungeon Clawler ($14.99, scores 70) outscores it, and so does Peglin ($11.99, scores 62). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

Super fun rougelike Peggle style game. This game is both challenging and enjoyable every time I play. I will say, the visuals are VERY overstimulating and it took me a long while to get into the game because of that. If you can get past the intense visuals, this is 100% a game you should check out.

This game is really fun :) If you're into peggle or peggle-likes, give it a shot.
BourdainRecommendedafter 8.2hApr 2026Read on Steam
I have played many peggle-like games, and this one had promise but the main "gimmick" of having HP instead of balls/lives pretty much ruins the experience. since the floor is spikes and hurts you almost every turn, with very little predictability of the physics (because the physics do not obey any rules of physics), each mistake punishes you forever rather than for one turn. too many things cause damage, not enough...
