— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Fun incremental game. The drilling aspect was a fun iteration that felt unique. I felt it slowed down a little too much in the late game. But overall, enjoyable”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“Divertido e competente: quase 4 horinhas para platinar e um incremental prazeroso :) Recomendado. OBS: Feito por um desenvolvedor solo.”
