Rock Hard Platformer 'Refund This Game' Challenges You to Beat It Within Steam’s 2-Hour Refund Window

If you’ve played Baby Steps or Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, you’ll understand the pure allure of a game that makes you want to clench your jaw so hard your teeth shoot off and ricochet around the room. One developer has taken this genre to its logical conclusion, challenging players to beat it in two hours so they can request their $3.99 back from Steam.

'Refund This Game' is a challenging 3D platformer where you’re tasked with reaching the summit in under two hours. Your reward for doing it? You can legitimately request a refund (and be granted one, no questions asked) under Valve’s own refund policy rules on Steam.

“Fling yourself up to the top in this Getting Over It-like 3D platformer!” the developers wrote on the official Steam page. “Stick your pole to walls, bend it and fling yourself with great speed! One mistake means falling all the way down. Can you reach the summit in under two hours and EARN that refund?!”

In the game, you pole vault your way through a psychedelic cyberspace of shapes and colors. You only get a single checkpoint, which you can place anywhere you want on the course.

It’s a smart bit of marketing for this specific kind of YouTube baity game — especially as it includes leaderboards for those who decide not to claim their money back. The Steam page also teases a secret endgame challenge, but you’ll probably have to dedicate more than two hours to figure that out.
