Reviews
This is a badly made game which i threw money at in a vain attempt to find enjoyment from my Tilt 5.
I don't like leaving a thumb down, so I'm still gonna support the devs, because it's overall a pretty good game and the price is fair. But I have to admit it's also frustating. - First, it's the 2nd game I'm playing today that displays Synty's assets.... -__- - Overall, art/music/sound is really minimal and uninspired with questionable choices (trees blocking the way). - Sometimes you don't really understand how the AI works, so you try, hoping it's making a way for you, trying to guess what the devs prepared. It's alright, but I was expecting a more strategic approach.
