What players say
an incredibly lazy mobile port of an incredibly badly made game sold for an incredible price (5 bucks is crazy). there's no full screen option, can't turn off the timer, can't replay levels, and so on. if somebody released the same thing done better and sold cheaper, it'd be great.
