What players say
Players describe this as a very short, free action game where time is both your health and resource. Many finish it in 25-30 minutes and call it easy. The 8-bit aesthetic and time-as-hp mechanic are praised, though some wish it were longer or more challenging. Comparisons to Minit are common.
