Time Played
This chart displays the time players have spent in Sproots depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 5.7 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. A low negative review time (median : 51 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Sproots and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours.
