What players say
I like this game, I tell myself for the ten thousandth time this hour, knuckles digging into my eyes as I rub them. I like this game. It is a logic puzzle and math and stuff I like. I like this game.... But damn does it make me feel pretty dumb most of the time.
1 more review, not recommended
