### 5/5 — What a great puzzler

*2026-10-05*

Full disclaimer, even though these are my actually  thoughts, I know the guy. 

I came across this game recently and I thought I’d try it out. I can say that I’ve gotten all of the unlocks and beaten the game a few times. 

So some of the better design decisions include how the game eases you into progression through unlocks. I really like that you can undo pretty much anything, including shop purchases; and that undo has a decent history. There are a bunch of quality of life things that make the gameplay smooth as well. The time to complete a fight and to complete the whole round is also really well done. The enemies are just clever enough that you can feel like they might outsmart you and you might outsmart them. And it feels really good when you’ve puzzled out how to get yourself out of a pretty bad situation. 

The only things that I wish it had was a way for me to know what enemies my team is targeting and a way to put turret effects on my turrets after my hourglasses run out. I can see the decision on why this is not the default behavior. These are not dealbreakers though. 

After going through the free content, I ended up purchasing the whole game. It is totally worth it and a great deal for the amount of content it gives you.

### 5/5 — I could play this every day
