The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.24, set in August 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 45 in the 8 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Stacklands ($7.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Doodle God ($14.99, scores 33).

4 of the 486 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 325 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 5.4 hours; clearing it takes 12, which is 2.2 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

Error occurs when starting on Mac, the application needs to be manually signed by the user to open normally. And there is a problem with the cloud archive.

Dev has been ignoring a gamebreaking bug for LITERAL YEARS, making the game unplayable beyond a certain point since it will just crash. Don't buy until it's fixed!

Pretty entertaining god game that has a quite a bit of progression/content. Although this isn't the deepest of games, it was fun unlocking new research, progress, and figuring out what was what. The graphics also fit really well, and I loved watching my little humans progress. Now don't be fooled, because even though it seems simple, the game isn't actually that easy. There are many ways for your civilization to die...
