What players say

Players love this free puzzle-roguelike hybrid, calling it better than many paid indie games. They praise the fair difficulty and high replayability at higher pressures, though many wish for more content or a paid DLC. The runs are short and satisfying, with some comparing it favorably to Plants vs. Zombies.
