### 5/5 — peak

*2025-01-21*

since my last review ive put well over 20 hjours in this game,, give me moreeeeee

### 5/5 — I love this game!

*2024-07-05*

I couldn’t find any bugs, loads of hidden features, difficult but I finally won!

### 4/5 — Fun, but a bit linear.

*2023-12-25*

The game is fun, different than the previous games I played from this developer but still very fun. Learning curve feels a bit less steep than the previous games I’ve played from him, but still difficult. My only real criticism is that it feels more linear than usual, the upgrades are a bit samey, and there is not an awful amount of variation from life to life. Despite that, it is still fun, and I look forward to what the developer will make next.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2023-09-14*

Very big fan of rogue likes and this, and every other game the developers make, fills my soul. Very good game, and Roggo is very good friend

### 5/5 — Appstore Gem

*2023-09-10*

I love this game, and i haven’t put an hour in it yet. No difficulty selection, straight to the point. Incredibly hard but fun.

### 4/5 — Love this dev’s games

*2023-07-08*

They’re very difficult in such a fun way (Air Offense Command on hopeless mode was extremely fun to beat). This game gets 4 stars because it’s still extremely fun but the controls feel somewhat clunky. It might be a skill issue, but I can’t seem to get spin combos consistently. 

And please! I’ll pay to remove ads! I would love to support this game.

### 5/5 — Difficult, earnest, great developer

*2023-01-14*

I’m a big fan of this developer and strongly encourage you to check out their other games. Each game they do seems like an experiment or just a hobby project their tinkering with, and that earnest fun vibe does a lot to add to the experience. This one is definitely on the tougher side, but there’s a lot to appreciate.
