“The game has great potential and it's tons of fun when it works, but sadly I cannot recommend it in its current state due to the sheer amount of bugs, and while the majority of them are goofy and harmless, the world I…”

— a player, Steam review · 50 hrs played“I do love this game, but you run out of content that leaves you wishing there was more to the game. The biggest issue for me is I wish that there wasn't a limited amount of world tiles, the game abruptly ends because you cant expand your world anymore. This limits how many…”
