What players say
It's a game that you will absolutely love at the start and by the end you will hate it with a sheer frustration.

Looks like a cool simple game, and actually does pretty good in setting, music, variety, price... but the controls? I'm sorry, minions are just beyond stupid, and since the game is all about them, this is a big problem.
Sea salt is a wonderful swarm simulator. You play as an eldritch God frustrated with a neighboring town for their heresy of not worshipping you well enough, and you have decided its time to unleash your babies onto them to correct their non worshipping ways. The game is a delight and gives you access to so many different little horrors that you never get bored with munching, blasting, and ripping your way to...
