“seizure go brrrr”
“Not recommended - the controls are badly designed and do not work half the time or the produced action is random and unpredictable. Seizure-inducing, flashing graphics of shapes that make no real life sense. Enemies…”
“Difficulty wall unlike anything else I've ever played. In terms of timing demands and tech, this is a single player first person fighting game. EPILEPSY WARNING DDDNE. I can play maybe five or ten minutes at a time so…”

“fun game. kinda hard for my single braincell to get my paws wrapped on the gameplay mechanics but still as fun as catching mice for my human at 4am.”
“Feels awkward at first, and it's hard, but if you keep trying and try the training you'll get the hang of it. Very fun.”
