“Fun game. For the price of it and being early access, you are getting what you pay for. ignore the negative comments! obviously being in early development you are not getting all it has to offer just yet but it has potential to be a great game... hell its something new, give it…”

— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“It's a more ambitious Surrondead type game but it falls short everywhere, bugs in almost every interaction and animations are rough. Not the worst game out there if you want to kill some time but it'll be boring extremely fast. Wait for a sale”
