    • “I know, it's 2 dollars... I know, it has interesting art... overall, this game is nauseating... tight corners, horrible colors and visuals that make your eyes and brain want to barf, and flashing lights that burn your retinas and make you want to puke on the floor, all while having gameplay that surrounds the idea of there being waves, and that you get options, options that don't make that big of a difference, and for the most part gameplay spamming shoot as you run straight forwards down and around a tight hallway... I can't recommend it.”
