Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
  

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

This chart shows Pixel Shopkeeper's Steam rating and reviews from July 2017 to December 2023. Steam's rating oscillates between 77.5% (December 2023) and 85% (November 2017).

With its 160 reviews, Pixel Shopkeeper could be considered a decent success for an indie game. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.

Review Languages

This doughnut graph shows Pixel Shopkeeper's reviewers languages. The most popular language is English (90%), followed by German (3%).

Time Played

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

This chart displays the time players have spent in Pixel Shopkeeper depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time played is adequate, reaching 22 hours in the 80th percentile.

The negative reviews play time is 6.4 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 106 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Pixel Shopkeeper and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
