« It's fine, especially for $3. It definitely feels like a $3 game though. The progression are extremely linear and doesn't really have any interesting choices. The pop up ads for the devs other games is pretty obnoxious. »

« Just boring. Unlocks are uninteresting and slow to get. Obviously the game looks bad, but I expected the gameplay to make up for it at least. Feels like a low effort cash grab. »
