    • “I also like the mechanic where you have to stop shooting to pick up the little bits that increase your multiplier (and you spend them on your cube).”
    • “The customizable protagonist that the player controls allows for the player to shape the gameplay to his or her liking, giving the game a different feel for each individual who plays.”

    • “The story is fairly well-written with a mild hint of humor to tie everything together.”

    • “+Achievements that are reasonable, with some that are really difficult to promote replay value”
    • “I have also played games like Steredenn, Enter the Gungeon, etc., so I have experience when I say this game is good. Maybe it is not the one with the most replayability, but I think that at least you should give it a chance; maybe you will like it too.”
