I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. But this metroidmania/pinball game was just what I needed. A new different type of game. I recommend this to anyone. Characters and animations are just awesome.

I wasn’t expecting much from this game and thought it was a budget title. I ended up playing 8 hours straight and got addicted to the pinball type puzzle game! A lot of fun once you get a handle of the controls!

This game reminds me a lot of Sonic Spinball from the Genesis. It’s a fun game but a little overpriced at $40, that’s why I waited until it went on sale. But it’s a great game regardless and a nice addition to my collection.

The art is great. An pinball exploration game that is surprisingly great and charming with its crazy bug characters. If you are looking for an interesting game, this is one to get.
