Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I would give this game a meh if I could. It's very similar to Super Meat Boy, but the levels are longer. It's frustrating because the controls are too slippery, so it's too hard to be as precise as the game requires, and there is too much…”
“This type of 'die endlessly until you get the run just perfect this time' type of games are absolutely no fun. I can't recommend this game for any reason when the game play is so obnoxious.”
