    • “I'd recommend that people play it although I do not enjoy the primary mechanics of dying only when you hit the floor. You don't die from height or landing on a bridge. Most of my playtime was spent feeding uranium to a baby, and I died several times due to the trampolines being inconsistent and not bouncing me at all. I gave up after dying on an attempt with 6 uranium fed to the baby and then made this review. Great game, just wish the trampolines worked and that the title mattered more.”
