    • “Lovely game, thoroughly enjoyed it so far, nice graphics and absolutely wonderful sound design.”
    • “I'm here to say, however, that the visuals are much better than what you see in the videos (if you have a 1080 crank those settings up to 'highest' and watch the texture detail jump out at you and all aliasing disappear), and the game is very fun to play.”

    • “The horrible graphics often resemble a 6-year-old's imagining of a sci-fi romp, made in blocky polygons.”

    • “Even though the game is divided by levels you select and try to get as much points for each level, it feels more like a narrative-driven story.”
    • “This game seems pretty simple at first glance; the graphics are rather cheap and the story is pretty flat.”

    • “The story seems rather bolted on after the fact, not helped by the fact that you get tossed out to a level select screen after every level.”
