- “It was kind of fun, but with the stages being so short and the few mechanics only being utilized once or twice, it makes it almost feel like a tech demo.”
- “You can 100% it in under 2 hours, solid mechanics but doesn't iterate, people talk at you with no response as if you're a piece of cardboard, and the secret areas in post-game don't have more gameplay, just stuff to quickly grab and get out.”
