Could literally play this forever. Amazing music. I recommend trying to go infinite.

Do not pay money for this. Hear that music in the trailer? That's literally the entire game. Which is over in 5 minutes. There are no puzzles or challenges. Seriously, you can find a better way to blow $1.

This game is amazing. I don't want to spoil anything about it -- just play it. It is way better than I thought it would be.

It does have some minor issues with the port, but they were easily fixable on my machine with the FAR mod, and ReShade makes this game look even better than its console counterparts.

You will not regret playing this game through its entirety. It will make you think, play with your emotions, and surprise you. Best RPG of 2017.

This game is super freaking good, and it grew on me very quickly. I was initially attracted to the SimCity 2000 inspired graphics, and the ads/trailers for the game were pretty enjoyable. What I did NOT expect was just how well put together this game would be.

The gameplay and core concepts for this game are fantastic. Basically it works like this: you build a deck and modify it through the level (easy enough), each card builds a building that does something (collects points, adds points, buys stuff, etc.), and the board has limited space to build said buildings. It sounds easy enough, but the mechanics all come together in a way that makes you think in order to solve some pretty complex goals.

The art assets in the game, particularly the music, stand out as well. I have found myself humming the main theme while showering in the morning and would honestly listen to this music independently of the game. That said, it still melds really well with the city theme; the creators of the game got the feel of that style down perfectly. Speaking of audio, can someone please give Laney's voice actor a medal or ribbon or something?

Really, the devs did good work all around, and it's really hard to nitpick the few rough edges the game has since the indie charm more than makes up for it. If any of the tags for this game catch your eye -- at the time of writing this, strategy, indie, card game, puzzle, or isometric -- then you will almost certainly enjoy this game. And since it's so easy to pick up and play, say, after work, don't be surprised if you find that you have "accidentally" spent 20+ hours in it playing "just a few rounds."

Good soundtrack and parkour. Don't expect a lot of playtime, but... on sale at $1.50, you could have a candy bar, or you could have this. They'll probably last you about the same amount of time but Refunct is healthier for you.

Candy bar/10 would press red buttons for 20 minutes again

The only thing wrong with this game is how short it is.

By random chance, I started playing this game at exactly 3:22 AM. After doing a double take, I realized that this was the perfect way to get the full experience here. Very recommended.

This is what happens when you teach an Atari 2600 parkour.

Wait... was this just a slow-moving, atmospheric, complicated ad? That I paid for?

I think it was.

Pretty graphics and music, though. But man that ending was disappointing. Like, wow. What did I even just watch.

You put a bullet hell in my JRPG? Yes, please. But I don't think I have ever finished a game and felt soul-crushing guilt before. And I enjoyed it. I enjoyed my guilt. Honestly, if this game doesn't make you feel something, you're probably a robot -- and not even a glitzy, dancing, self-obsessed one.

It's not really that I want my money back, it's that I just don't want the developer to have it.
