- “All I can really ask for is more content (and more sliding interaction; that mechanic is so much fun).”
- “From a software standpoint, the graphics are very basic and gameplay is quite glitchy.”
- “Not all people will have the issues I did, but for me, getting the mechanics down of the controls has not been mastered well enough for a seamless and completely enjoyable experience, as I will need a lot more practice.”
