— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“An interesting twist on TD with some unique game mechanics & an attractive female character. Lack of Steam Cloud support is annoying (you will lose your progress if you delete the game).”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Seems interesting at first but the game mechanics are convoluted and the RNG ruins it. Building paths is a pain with the stupid ass Tetris blocks. Also the translations are REALLY bad in some spots, like wtf does "It MUST be criticl if shoot" mean??”
