“Every 2 or 3 months someone named Jane comes to the forums to tell us there is a full time development team working on improving and finishing the game but nothing ever happens. Read the news and the forums. It's not worth more than $3 or…”
“Nice game. Sadly the devs are a bunch of liars (just read their anouncements and the forum for proof). Don't support these cons, talk with your wallet and spend your money hard earned cash somewhere else.”
