The value story

The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in May 2023. 51 discounts in the 7 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart.

Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy ($39.99, scores 71) and SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake ($9.99, scores 75), are both worse buys on this math.

$9.58 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.83/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set. That is today's sale price. Normally $3.33/hr
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds19 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Lemme just say: Do NOT hesitate when buying this game. This is probably my favorite 3D platformer in a long, long time, and I had a blast playing.
