The game features a blend of simple visuals and humor, highlighted by quirky elements like exploding cows and amusing crashes, which initially enhance the fun experience. While it offers a substantial number of levels and a challenging gameplay, the humor may wear thin over time. Overall, it is likened to airport control games but with a more comedic twist.
“For a little over $2, you get a game that has simple yet captivating visuals, some humor (exploding cows), a ton of levels (which I did not expect from a game at this cost), and a real challenge to play.”
“Maybe, in the line of airport control games, but in my humble opinion, more funny.”
