### 5/5 — Interesting idea befriend billiards + roguelite

*2021-11-10, version 61.3*

Very unusual and at first seems not very friendly. Unusual controls which I’m unsure of. Would be much more convenient to see where the character stops because otherwise it’s like Russian roulette 🙂 but maybe that was intended to simulate rogue like randomness . Anyway breathe of fresh air in the swamp of traditional rogue like games

### 5/5 — Best mobile game in my opinion

*2021-11-04*

Really good game overall

### 1/5 — Tracking

*2021-07-05*

I don’t consent to your data tracking and thus have no option to play. Great job!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2021-05-29*

Best sling game since monster strike

### 4/5 — Fun game, Nice mechanics

*2021-03-24*

I don’t like the fact that you can’t share loot between characters, also that I have never seen a legendary item, but all in all it’s a fun game. A lot of different skill combos.

### 5/5 — Very interesting game

*2021-03-09*

Never played a game like it so far. So to me it’s a fresh new take on dungeon crawlers with an interesting story which is told bit by bit at the start of each act/zone.

The enemies are varied, have a few different attack patterns.
There are bonus levels available.
There are power up choices, levels, stat increases both in zones and on the home menu.
Varied skills that aren’t locked to a class
So far no pay to win.

Great game all in all, worth checking out.

Peace out.

### 1/5 — Haphazard controls make otherwise cute game unplayable

*2020-12-31*

No matter how careful and accurate my movements, it always ends up flopping around like a sick fish.

### 3/5 — No Purchase Restoration...

*2020-12-05*

Fantastic game! 
One issue, I had this game downloaded and spent over $60 USD on gems for chests. After cleaning up my phone and deleting apps, I realized I had deleted this game on accident. When I downloaded the game again, it started my progress over at level 1, stage 1 with no option to restore previous purchases. If it weren’t for that, this game would receive 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Fun and Easy

*2020-11-27*

Finished first map on easy. Fast and Easy progress with minimal ads so far. Recommend to try.

### 1/5 — What?

*2020-11-27*

So they pay Apple a ton of money for a spot on game of the day and there’s no Episode 1 of the game? So we just skipped over the first episode?
