“shikarnaya muzyka (excellent music) and visual design” (35)
«Я тебе когда-нибудь говорил, что такое безумие? Безумие — это делать одно и то же снова и снова, ожидая, что что-то изменится». Пока играл чуть не свихнулся, но я мазохист, поэтому мне понравилось, один из лучших и вместе с этим самый сложный платформер, в который доводилось играть, шикарная музыка и визуал P.S. Спасибо разработчикам за эмоции, я вас ненавижу
