Addictif à souhait »👍 anonymous review · 9 h played« J'ai adoré. Graphisme mignons, gameplay répétitif, un peu de rapidité pour corser légèrement, équilibre parfait pour un jeu cosy. Un peu court par contre, finit en 7h, j'aurais aimé un peu plus »👍 anonymous review · 8 h played« vraiment cool j'ai passé un super bon moment »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played« Petit jeux sympa, mais il peut finir trop vite ce qu'y rend les derniers succès très long »👍 anonymous review · 10 h played
« Succés "véritable complétionniste" buggé donc 100% impossible. »👎 anonymous review · 9 h played« This game has the harshest, most stressful timers and demands of dexterity. Plenty of penalties and plenty to screw-up. It is not relaxing in the slightest. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Bought it after the demo, and I did enjoy it to some extent. It's crafted with love, but not enough content for me to be worth the price -- completed after 5h and can't really see a reason for another playthrough. »👎 anonymous review · 5 h played« There being no real consequence for missing payment to the shark really killed it for me sadly. Also, the upgrades didn't feel like they really had a huge impact on the gameplay either. »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« The gameplay is disappointing and very repetiitve. You mine, refine and sell. After 5 Minutes you have basically seen everything there is. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Un jeu excellent, très bon concept. »👍 anonymous review · 9 h played
