    this game is amazing!! I love the gameplay and the visuals but for some reason I can't save the game and every time I quit, I can't press continue. But otherwise it is a great game!

    Simple and fun game overall, you can even make some really broken builds. The loop is really repetitive at times, but is more a kill time kinda of a game. --Linux Info-- Works perfect there is no performance difference between the windows and linux version.

But unlike the other times I lost, this literally killed him, resulting in all that time I spent equating to nothing. You can't be serious.
