Quick review: Pretty addictive game right off the bat. Two notes: 1) Isn't a typing game, more of a quick reaction button mash correct letter. 2) Kinda buggy. Immediately notice after starting new run, the "Try Again" button UI remains on the screen. Trying to change difficulty settings or go through leaderboards is an absolute pain as well, I could be trying to change bomb count and it changes attack range instead even though I don't have that selected. When I close the game, it takes ages for it to actually stop running, I have to close steam entirely. For those reasons I can't recommend the game just yet as it needs better refinement/kinks ironed out. (though I will be playing more)

Attractive female character.

Fun game with quick runs and a ton of stuff to master. Maybe the runs get longer as you actually do master those things, but I don't know I'm just having fun screwing around for now.

For what type of game this is, and the price. This is pretty good.
