“Honestly, I had a really good time with this game. The gameplay is fun and satisfying, but I really wish there was more to it. More levels and content would've been great because it ended just when I was starting to really get into it.”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“this game is really good but unfortunately it's extremely short. the gameplay is fun and there is a potential for a great story. it just needs more updates and more content.”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“phenomenal game, the only thing that disappointed me is that the score doesnt actually have an impact on the game. at first i thought it made the perks better but its just useless numbers on the screen”
