Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of SPINGUN steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

This chart shows SPINGUN's Steam rating and reviews from November 2016 to September 2023. Steam's rating is in a range going from 100% (November 2016) to 81.9% (March 2023).

Considering the 86 reviews, and if it didn't take too long to make the game, SPINGUN could be a small indie success. The graph seems to be a long tailed distribution. That sometimes means that the marketing efforts were concentrated on the game launch, and that there was no major update or discounts after.

Review Languages
 

Donut graph showing review languages for SPINGUN and the proportion of players they represent.

This doughnut graph shows SPINGUN's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (74%), followed by Simplified Chinese (7%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 11 languages represented. The game has only one translation (English). Having more translations could have boosted the game's popularity.

Time Played

Chart displaying SPINGUN percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the number of hours played in SPINGUN depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is decent, reaching 7 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is 11 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 16 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 SPINGUN and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
