- “Seems like a game I would make if I were better at making games, worse at graphic design, and a Japanese college student who doesn't speak English very well.”

- “Got a bit of comedy in there too, laughed a couple times at the story, and the boss fights were neat.”
- “Why do I have to watch that story every time I want to play?”
- “The story is a bit short but for a free 100 megabyte game it's worth the playthrough.”
- “The story felt cringy and anime-clichéed though (e.g. with a teen protagonist) so this was alright.”
