The game has a fun concept but poor execution. There is no way to change your settings and it has no tutorial. I could not even move my mouse to aim my reticle it just stayed in the middle of the screen. Also when you hit esc it just closes the game witch would be annoying if i put more hours into this game. The game does not include online support so you have to be in person or share play this game. If i had to say something nice about this game is that i only spent 49 cents on it.1 found this helpful
