“was really fun at first, however it got rather repetitive and is very unpolished. while the unpolished part kinda added to the fun, it is disappointing they only updated the game a single time and then left it. I cannot in good faith…”
“Tried multiple times to play the game with friends. I waited months for an update The games made to be played with friends but due to server issues and Desync, even with the best internet avalable. Its unplayable. If i can refund this game…”
