I do not see any notable differences, it plays basically the same. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played11« There is reason why discussion forums are disabled. This game is 5/10, "We have Brotato at home". Even for a few dollars I wasn't sure that this purchase was worth it. It's just a much worse version of Brotato so be mindful of that. »👎 anonymous review · 31 h played1« 100% dopamine, 0% gameplay. Super efficace si vous n'avez aucun but dans la vie. »👎 anonymous review · 21 h played« Even in early access, I feel this game is worth the price of entry. Essentially, for me, it scratched that Brotato itch, while being different enough and having enough new ideas that it didn't feel like "just" more Brotato. »👍 anonymous review · 53 h played
