• 7Fun little game... I like the graphics and the overall presentation. It is obviously still a bit rough around the edges, but that's room for improvement, right? Of course it needs sound, too, and an AI wouldn't hurt either. I like this style of game a lot, though!

• 4Quite rough on the edges, but there's a lot of potential here. Definitely one to keep an eye on; 4 (has potential) for now, will update review when this evolves.
