Great sound. Great Graphics. Great Story
Fri Apr 22 2022 FSK Shots and Tech

Wow at first it was hard to play the game with the touch but learned after few tries. And now I am addicted to this game. Apple Arcade is getting worth it for it’s value and putting great quality games like this on their catalog. Dev team, keep up the great game. And it’s super nice to play it today on Earth Day. Makes me reflect more. Greeting from Africa.
