The controls are clunky and the game itself isn't very interesting imo

The controls are clunky, during tutorial it tells u to hold left mouse button, but when I did that, it failed. But when I spammed left mouse, it got accepted.

Good game, reasonable design, gameplay and controls are a little heavy. The game is not so fluid but it is easy to play.
