Ok

It's just ok...

Poor game

Arbitrary decisions and no real characterisation make this a waste of £2.00!

Doesn't work/loops

I'm sure I would give this a good rating if I was actually able to play it, but I'm not :/ . Once I get to the point where I choose my partner, it goes back to the beginning as if I just opened the app, but keeps the stats and name I chose earlier...
Anyways, I'd really like to play/read this, but it doesn't work soooo....

Great!

The race has a lot of diversity for a text based storyline game, on character selection you get to choose character traits the first time to get better attributes for the second character creation (ie, getting 100% luck, charisma or any other stat). There are things you can or cannot do, based on your stats or previous choices (1 team making it the next race when they've dropped out in your previous one), becoming very immersive.

Not great

I love text-based games, especially interactive novels, but this one was disappointing. It just doesn't seem that much time was put into it. Seems unfinished. For example, there were five or six grammar mistakes just in the first paragraph, making it difficult to read, and I encountered a glitch that made me enter all of my character's info twice before I could begin the game. It seems like an ok idea, but needs some work before it will be fun to play.
