    • “A small game with minimal gameplay.”
    • “The game has extremely boring gameplay with terrible hitboxes and achievement spam; skip this one.”
    • “It's obvious that, given the poor quality of the game, no effort has been made to refine the hitboxes (you die even if you are quite far from the spikes), and definitely not into the mechanics - you'll see what I mean when you start moving boxes and have to redo everything just because you slipped away for meters.”
    • “Pretty generic game overall and relatively easy gameplay.”
