- Hardware Profile: No data
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $5.00 - $7.00
  - Reasoning: Most reviewers accept the $7 base price as worthwhile for a short, charming platformer, and several explicitly say it is worth it at the full asking price. At the same time, multiple reviewers describe it as very short and recommend buying only on sale, with one suggesting that a much lower price like $2 would better match a 49-minute completion. This supports a fair base-game range around $5 to $7, with sale prices below $4 making the value proposition stronger.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 1.0h
  - Story completion: 0.8h
  - Session length: 1.0h
  - Endgame: 0.3h
  - Reasoning: The 35-40 minute report for a non-100% run supports storyCompletion around 0.75 hours after considering other reports near one hour. Multiple reports place 100% completion near one hour, supporting gameCompletion at about 1 hour. The single-session 100% report implies a typical sessionLength of about 1 hour for players who finish it in one sitting. The 20-minute last-CD search, alongside mentions of post-game collection cleanup, supports a small endgame window of about 0.25 hours. Confidence is moderate because completionist and main-story runs overlap in some reports.
