Ratings and reviews

I must say that the art is great as usual, but there are some obvious flaws. The volume seems pretty quiet, the frame rate becomes atrocious very fast ruining the experience and controls, and although this might just be me but it seems that to get a comfortable grasp on how to play the game it takes a while for a newcomer. Overall if the frame rate becomes fixed this game would be better, but there is the issue of difficulty and intuitive gameplay. But that might just be me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The game itself is fantastic. But 30 second commercial you have to watch every 1 minute of game play, not only breaks your concentration, it annoys others around you. That's because, no matter how low your sound volume is while playing the game, it will get really loud, once the advertise starts to play. Advertisements are set to play in high volume sound. You can only mute the sound of it after it already starts the ads. And when next ads pops up, you have to mute the sound again every time.

Not one of Arnold Rauer's best, tbh. Energy save mode changed nothing (do I really need all those animations and particle effects?), no way to turn off the excessive amount of vibration, and gameplay is slow, ads pop up in the middle of a run (not before or at the end). I've paid money for every previous game from the developer because they're well-crafted, but this one literally had me screaming at the screen constantly in frustration for clunky and slow interface. Play Card Crawl instead.
