Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Sep 11 → 1/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I refunded this "game." Cool concept, but is not a game in the classic sense. It is an emulator. There are a bunch of workshop items that display the breadth of what it can do but I would just recommend most people to spend their time elsewhere. I could write a book on why this is, but feel free to experience it for oneself. There are some issues I have with this product, 1. Would not launch the product until it received my location data from my laptop 2. Was running background process for over 4 hours after I launched the game. The process was not tracked by steam. The reason I immediately refunded this product. I do not recommend the use of this product.
This game looked great and I really wanted to enjoy it, but it's completely unplayable. Most UI buttons/interactions don't seem to work, and at a certain point the menu wouldn't slide out anymore and I got stuck and couldn't even quit the game. Alt+F4 didn't even work, I had to use the Task Manager to kill the game. This game has a ton of potential if it just simply worked.

I can see the appeal in it but the bugs were pretty annoying. Also, the tutorial wanted me to watch a youtube video, which is a huge turn off for me because I'd rather be taught in game than have to go back and forth on a monitor between youtube and the game.
I don't recomend to people who don't understand Lua, get it only if you understand Lua.
Don't bother buying this if you don't know how to code, I'm pretty sure the developers don't give two about any of the suggestions, I bought this for £26 and it's awful, the buttons don't work, the screen doesn't light up, why you may ask? It's because no one can code and the developers don't want to add block coding as a more accessible or beginner friendly way of playing where they'd rather have beginners struggle and end up refunding the game than having a easier way of coding and making items, videos online don't really teach you as they go too fast and the font in the command console makes colons and semi-colons look the exact same, Lua is too difficult to learn so I'd recommend anyone who doesn't know how to code to just stay away if you value your time and money, just get the free version, i tend to just make things with screens and buttons and then delete them...
great game in general, but would love to see native linux support due to performance issues with proton, if its not already in development.
Bugs! Bugs! And more bugs! THIS GAME IS CURRENTLY TOO BUGGY TO PLAY! First time I opened no buttons worked, then the menu glitched so I couldn't close the game. Can't alt F4 either, had to use task manager. Can't build any gadgets because after a few times clicking pieces, they get stuck in your hand with no way of dropping them. This game is beyond unplayable at the current time
I do not know how to code in Lua. If I did then this game would be amazing. I simply cannot play the game because I don't know how to even use it. I tried to use the tutorial but all it did was give me gadgets and expect me to know how they work. There is no learning curve in this game for newbies like me, it is a cliff. If the tutorial was better designed and had a guide to code in lua, I would love this game.
Is this game for you? A short guide. 1) If you watched the trailer videos and looked at the screenshots then this game is exactly what you think it is Thanks for reading my short guide.
