« I wish there had been more evolution to the gameplay. There isn't really any change to gameplay near the end where going from just flying around you then need to start and stop a lot which ends up being annoying. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 4 h played« 4/10 too linear, control too floaty »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 4 h played« It's repetitive, boring and not fun. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2026 · 6 h played« Really just a meh review. I played for 2.2 hours and got 5 of 11 achievements. The gameplay is very repetitive and the upgrades are so incremental, it's hard to get excited about any of it. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 2 h played« Gets real repetitive real fast, upgrades take a huge grind and the grind is all the same »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 1 h played« Très bon petit jeu, très satisfaisant, quoi qu'un peu court.
