### 5/5 — Very short

*2023-05-03*

Great game look forward to more content.

### 3/5 — Needs more info

*2023-04-30*

I like the game and the idea but it seriously needs more info on how the weapons work how many hits each one gets etc. the swipe mechanic is obvious but I have no idea what these weapons are or what they do so it’s hard to make decisions on swapping them, etc. amor detailed tutorial would do wonders!
