It doesn't even ease you in, at least compared to other games.” PocketGamer 7/10 “It's a hateful experience, and you'll probably swear your entire face off while you're playing, but you'll still wrap your clammy palms around your phone and try to get to the end.” 148Apps 4/5 “You’ll keep chipping away at the stage, keen to get further and come across something even harder along the way.” TechCrunch “Gameplay is challenging without being infuriating, and rewards the kind of hardcore pattern memorization that made classic titles for Atari and NES so fun to play.
