The game received a 9/10 "Very Good" score, with the following conclusion:

If you are interested, you can get the magazine in digital or physical form on the CAAD website
Also, the game will be 75% off during the Summer Sales starting tomorrow, that should make it at less than 1 euro/usd/pound, so if you were looking for a short and non stressful retro game that's one possibility for you!
And if you liked the game, please leave a review, I would really like to pass that mythical 10+ review threshold!
