“The game was good at first, sadly I can't recommend it as I refuse to support this dev. He makes a game, doesn't finish it and never solves bugs, lashes out at the community for any critisisme and then abandons their games and makes a new…”
“Coop is amazing. Game is too hard. The runs don't feel very different... you do the same level in the same order with the same upgrades... over and over. Make it easier and encourage me to do more risky things (or new game+).”
