### 5/5 — Игра классная но

*2016-11-23, version 1.1.0*

В решающей битве где нужно пройти все уровни подряд да они ещё и сложнее чем когда были по отдельности уж слишком сложно даже на максимальных прокачках и одноразовым бонусом, но скорее всего и бонусов вы не добавите ( хотя бы одноразовых) и уж тем более не упростите игру.
