“This game taught me that taking a photo of your dying friend instead of helping them is the morally correct choice. Especially if they stepped on a mine.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Great fun with friends. Simple gameplay, yet has some complex mechanics to it. Updated regularly, with new monsters and stages. Well worth the price.”
— a player, Steam review · 31 hrs played“I usually hate these kinds of games, but this is the one exception. I love this game and cannot recconmmend it more. This game is soooooo much fun, the only complaint I have is that the quota you get for every headline doesnt change based on how many people you play with.…”
