Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $6.00 - $8.00
  - Reasoning: The community consistently indicates the game is only worth buying on sale, with acceptable prices around $6-8. Full price is considered too high, and $10 is explicitly not worth it. Thus, a fair base-game price range is $6-8.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 5.5h
  - Story completion: 5.5h

  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews report total completion times ranging from 2.7 to 7 hours, with most players finishing all levels, upgrades, and achievements in 4–7 hours. The median of reported completions is around 5–6 hours, so I estimate 5.5 hours for both game completion and story completion, as the game's main content is the set of levels/contracts. No specific session length or endgame metrics were provided, so those are null.
