What players say
Players praise the charming art and educational Paleozoic theme, but warn that the game is punishingly difficult with unfair deaths and frustrating environment hazards like gas, spikes and lava. Reviews split on whether the challenge is rewarding or simply unfun, and several mention a sticking point involving trilobites and worms.
