Originally I kinda hated it despite it having some good ideas I liked. Even thought of refunding it cos I was already 20 mins in and already had thought "this isn't for me." But I didn't since it didn't cost much anyway and kept going. The more I played it, despite how rage inducing it was, it did start to grow on me. And it's a lot more fun when you're actually powerful. I also appreciated that the dev added extra...
A game I absolutely suck at, but enjoy none the less. It's got a fun and engaging premise, a nice graphical style, and good gameplay. Something I really like mucking around in, and can see others having a good time with as well.
