- “Decent graphics (a little blurry, though), optimized well enough.”
- “Fantastic game, extremely well optimized and crazy fun.”

- “Terrible optimization, crashes on startup leaving the entire desktop unusable if not running the 'low end PC' version, questionable terms of service regarding privacy, and either misleading tutorials or way too tight input frames for the aftertouch throws. I won't bother figuring out how to perform curve throws just so I can exit the freaking tutorial!”
