“The controls are janky, the music is repetitive, the game doesn't track progress, and it's barely satanic related.”

“I would want to see the unique visuals matched with truly unique gameplay.”
“The gameplay isn't actually that unique; momentum wall jumps are cool, but this game has a little bit of jank when actually trying to do them.”
