What real reviews say
★★★★★ Weird screen ratio It would be perfect if the game acrually fits the whole screen
★★★ A concept as good as the best in the genre, with snags I can’t stop catching. Gameplay idea is simple but augmented with the progression and randomization of the roguelike genre. It works really well and feels very satisfying to successfully clear a board or pull off a narrow escape from a tight place. When it “works”. This game will flip-flop about behaviors that it allows.
★★★★★ I don’t have to play it and rate it It deserves every penny
