- “The core gameplay loop is brilliant and immediately draws you in.”
- “A fun game with easy mechanics to work with; though the game is short (I completed it in about 2 hours), it was an enjoyable play!”
- “The gameplay loop is the exact same all the way through: play, run, fail, upgrade, repeat until win.”
