should i be able to get a refund on this game?

I agree that's stupid to sell a game for 0,95$ and let it go free to play not even a month later.
You should get a refund but I doubt you will get one :(

If you have already given away the games, I'd highly doubt it. Perhaps if it was still in your inventory (when you could do that) steam support would be willing to refund you, as they have refunded me past the 14 day deadline in the past (I was on vacation during a sale, and made purchases using my phone app and didn't return home until it was past 14 days).

I voted no. As far as I can see, you bought a game that provides what was advertised.
Any developer/publisher is free to change the price of their game or make it available for free.
Is it a decent move to do so within a month? - No.
Will it get the developer negative PR? -Probably no, game seems to be too small.

It's the same argument of buying a game on release versus waiting for it to go on sale. At the current time you thought you are getting your money's worth, so you bought it. If you are unhappy with this decision then those $20 are a lesson for you in the future to think twice before spending them.

I mean if people bought Skyrim the day it was released then it went free to play a month later there would be massive blow back on the developer. But since it's a $1 poorly made indie game that maybe 5 people bought, who cares.

It's not about the money, it's about the moral ethics that these two bit developers think they can get away with anything without taking a hit to their wallets.

A similar thing happened to me with King's Quest Episode 1. At first it was like $10, then during a Steam Summer Sale (or Xmas sale don't remember exactly any more) it was on sale for $1, which I thought was good opportunity to give away a few copies to see what others thought about it and maybe eventually get the whole game (all episodes) for myself at some point. Then, after a while (probably not within a month, but I don't think it was more than 2 months), they made the whole first episode free, basically making my giveaways almost worthless except that my winners got it a bit earlier than everyone else. It's not nice for someone who buys stuff, but I guess it happens. Then again, I did not buy 20 copies, so it's not that much of a big deal either.

As much as I'd like to agree with you, no. You shouldn't get a refund, because it was your responsibility to purchase the game when you did. It's an extremely shitty situation and dev, but that's just how things are in the gaming industry. You don't get refunds when a game you pre-ordered goes on sale a few months later, so you probably can't get refunded when a game goes free to play.

I think it's illegal to change price in the first 30 days and Steam has to follow those laws too. Sooo... you have a couple of days to see what to do. Like, 7 days.

apparently that's against Steam's ToS but whatever

apparently ? whatever ? are you serious ?

No.
