“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.”

“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.”

“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”
