What players say

I'm sure the devs are busy with the other titles they are working on but this game had so much potential. It could make a comeback but with the direction it is headed in I expect it to only get worse. Back in the day though it was peak.
gibbler_nibblerRecommendedafter 8.3hJul 2026Read on Steam
Games good, but about 5-10 players online most days & they're way too skilled for a newbie to enjoy it. Game could use a steep price reduction to compete with the games of this type available on steam. This one is actually the best option, it's just too expensive to warrant buying it & needs more players.
RazzRecommendedafter 17hJul 2026Read on Steam
Good idea. Decent execution. Not enough staying power. I wanted to love it more than I actually did
