This game is really fun. Helps you focus on something other than life. And I really enjoy that and the story is pretty enjoyable too.

### 4/5 — Nearly as good as I remember

*2025-01-14, version 2.3.0*

Played this game years ago, came back to it now and it’s just as fun as I remember it being, very glad to have found it again. Games like these makes me think of a world where mobile games were made to be fun rather than extract as much money out of players as possible. I don’t remember there being so many ads though.

### 5/5 — Cool Game

*2023-12-03*

I’ve only been playing this game for a couple of days, and I can’t get enough of it. I really like the credits system in this game, and how you can really overpower your characters early on. That’s pretty much all I have to say so far, I can’t wait to see what this game has in store in the coming weeks :)

### 4/5 — Good with training your timing.

*2023-09-27*

It’s a nice solid game simple, but challenging. Helps engage you to practice your timing.

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-10-23*

This game is really good! It just needs an update because once you get the controls it becomes too easy.

### 5/5 — Such a hidden gem

*2022-07-13, version 2.3.0*

This is the first game review I’ve ever written but felt compelled to do so with how underrated this amazing game is.

It might seem very hard at first but the game rewards you for skill and as you learn the enemies patterns.
