What players say
Pretty decent enjoyment when it's on sale. You'll probably finish the content in 2hours but you will probably play it for 2 additional hours to optimize stuff and getting all achievements. The game is most likely created out of a working prototype as the gameplay is solid but content-wise slightly shallow and predictable. It is a good gameplay idea though and feature-complete for a solo-dev project.
