What players say
very cute and fun little game. some of the upgrade combos are very satisfying to pull off.
Get Shelldiver instead. This game is quite barebones. There are only three enemy types, a few different rat types and no variety in levels or backgrounds. In your first game you will have seen everything this game has to offer. And the best strategy is one where you don't move an inch from the starting position, meaning you sit there for entire game, doing nothing but picking cards If I hadn't purchased it too long...
