    • “It turns out 'mash-up of side-scrolling gameplay styles' and 'endless procedurally generated levels' actually mean 'mobile store runner/flappy bird clone'.”
    • “Gameplay is simple and has 5 modes to choose from, and you can 100% it in around 1 to 2 hours depending on your skill.”
    • “The gameplay is really simple, with only 2 buttons to press (there's no option to change the controls, though; it would be awesome if there was).”
