a fast-paced, physics-driven tactical game where you carefully identify and eliminate targets while avoiding civilian casualties, with a playful, comedic tone.

What players say

Players agree the throwing controls are a major problem, with many calling the game unplayable due to unpredictable physics. A few enjoy the zombie mode, but most find the campaign too difficult and the core loop boring. There is no consensus on the story or visuals, though some note decent ideas buried under poor execution.
