« This is a great, chill, small game that's fully worth the price. A lot of good audio feedback, smooth physics and a lot of fun. Very much a throw on a video/show/movie and play a few hours. »

« Fairly boring, upgrades don't feel very significant and it's very slow with not much changing over time. Also the UIs are very confusing, why is prestige mixed in with settings? I couldn't even find it at first. »
