What players say
I want to like this game, but alas, I am a typing freak (~140 wpm on typeracer on a good day). I have not finished it on account of getting a little bored with it... What I liked: - The game is visually pretty, and soothing - Fox :3 - The combat is fun! (At first...) What I disliked: - You get some unlocks, but not much *really* changes. The gameplay got kind of boring. - Being a typing freak means you get a LOT...
