What players say

zup! x 100% done. super fun, short little game. honestly i originally bought it on sale just to spell out "Erikcek" on my profile's achievement showcase, but it ended up being a really enjoyable and fast-paced logic puzzle game. really enjoyed the physics gameplay, and i only had to look up a guide once on level 60.
