Jan. 2025

I understand that this game isn't being updated anymore and that is very disappointing. That being said, this was a great idea for a game, it's fun in its current state, and is definitely worth a few dollars. I want to put in a positive review to counter all the negativity here. I don't know what happened to the dev, but we are all human and things happen. Whoever it is, they had a good thing going.

Dec. 2024

While I would like more levels, characters, and baddies, this game has been super entertaining - especially given its low price. I've spent many an hour on this game. It may well be the most bang for my buck of any game!

Oct. 2024

Having a great time with it, for $4 who can complain. It is a shame the dev ran out of funds to finish it. But I hope since they promised to finish it when time and money allows, they will.

Aug. 2024

Can't really understand the hate for the game atm Early Access gives smaller dev teams the opportunity to create games they can't fully fund on their own, though not every project reaches completion. The game is still very cheap with 5$ and you can have several hours of fun with it if you're into the genre or refund it. It's well worth the money for the content it provides, especially when it's on sale and no scam There are 3 maps to explore, 3 characters to play and a few different difficulty options With a bit of messing around i needed 3.5 hours for the first map

June 2024

Game is really good, it has great mechanics, but the studio is dying and it's heartbreaking to see people calling it an "Early access scam" . They know dev made a break because they have no money left and people still leave negative reviews because there's no more updates, knowing negative reviews will confirm the downfall of the game. It's harsh to see an unfair cycle of doom like that... Great game nonetheless, I hope the best for the devs in their future projects. <3
