Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The controls are super finicky and only work every other time you boot the game up. The graphics are a blend of Atari and NES era graphics, but combine the worst aspects of both into this game. Also, this games attempts at humor fall flat…”
