    • “Played it for only 30 minutes or so, but I can already tell it is way beyond what I expected. It has super cool animations, effects, and sound effects, and it's fun to play. Just don't expect super deep game mechanics; it is a simple game in which you just hop in and have fun instantly. The different characters I found along the way wowed me a lot; I was just staring at them and observing their amazing visual qualities and behavior. It is really cool, and the game feels very polished overall. I'd recommend it for a little quick fun for everyone; it should surprise you with amazement. 5/5”
