### 5/5 — Super underrated

*2025-12-16, version 1.2.1*

Wow. This really is a great game, I’ve loved it for years, and I’m mad that it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. It has a very interesting concept for a story, a great soundtrack, and recognizable characters! Another thing I’ve noticed, at certain parts of a level, specific stems of the soundtrack plays, I find that super cool. I couldn’t find any gameplay commentary on this game anywhere! Not even a wikipedia page! If it’s possible, I hope one day this game will blow up :(

### 5/5 — Damn… a blast from the past.

*2023-11-14, version 1.2.1*

An absolute golden part of my early on the go gaming days and a extremely fun, a hidden gem. It is absolute insane to see that the last review on this game was nine years ago. I actually dug up this old email and decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed, The only bad thing I can say it does not have a pause button whilst in game. You will have to press your Home Screen button and re-enter for it to pause. But overall an excellent game and a treasure.

### 5/5 — So Addicting I Came back 10 Years Later
