Fun but
Wed Jul 08 2026 NonamelynxI was having fun, but I’m a bit annoyed I have to pay for the full game, it’s annoying that the first part is free, but the rest of it isn’t, like I’ve barley started but I can’t actually start my adventure, will I be able to play the full thing without paying?
You have to pay for the full game
Wed Jul 08 2026 Screaming Lord Dinosaur 🤘🦕💥Nice art style, cool music, seems like devs put lots of love into the game. Bummed that the install is only a free trial and you are eventually forced to pay to keep playing :( trial was fun tho highly recommend if you can spare the $7
Great game!

Skips to ending
Sun Jul 05 2026 NotradghostMiddle of playing one of the levels, and it immediately jumped to the ending. Not worth the money if it’s going to ruin the story!
