Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“A rat enclosure is not a bunny enclosure etc. etc. for the dumb little bugs and issues it has. Game is boring and grindy and doesn't have any feel of someone really caring and trying to develop it. Buy something else this game sucks.”
“Very buggy, only a few animal choices, etc. There's not a lot to grind for, nothing to level up for. They abandoned this game to work on the second. Sad”
