### 5/5 — Very fun

*2023-07-05*

I love beating up people in this game, and I am sad I have to pay for other levels. But whenever I press the pay button nothing happens.
So I am stuck on the first level. I hope I will have the chance to play this on Nintendo switch.

### 5/5 — Funny and very good time passer

*2022-11-29, version 1.0*

I love the dialogue and laugh at the somewhat racist but funny jokes but I’m a little disappointed that I can’t buy the rest of the levels and am stuck with only the first level to play through as nothing happens when I click to but the rest of them as no confirm purchase window pops up 
Hope you fix it soon so that I can enjoy this game wherever and whenever I want

### 5/5 — Nice game!

*2021-03-08*

I really liked the game! One thing though is there is an issue with the shielded guys I can’t hit them with feet sometimes. Also the left controller stick is positioned too low. Overall the game is very cool!
