โShady developer who buys reviews. First 28 reviews were left mins after the launch and they were all positive and very similar in writing style. (bad grammar, all very shallow, no criticism) That aside the game is pretty bad itselfโฆโ
โDeveloper is buying reviews, the game continues crashing and I cannot refund the game because the tutorial is excatly 2 hours long, Buyer be warnedโ
