" ... A must have for gamers - if you don't own a switch at least play it on a PC or other consoles. ... "

Gameplay / Difficulty

+100%
" ... This game is also very challenging. ... And as you get better at mastering the game's mechanics, the game rewards you for your progression, by giving you bonuses for skillful play between each level. ... "
" ... Those things are part and parcel of any high difficulty game. ... However, this game does a great many little tricks to 'enhance' the challenge. ... It's not especially difficult, but it is tedious and it slows down progression through the levels - which are randomized (nice variety) so you can't just memorize the hot spots. ... I'd rate it 2/5 for most gamers & 3.5+/5 for highly skilled gamers who don't mind artificial difficulty. ... "
" ... Easy to play, difficult to master. ... "
" ... Lots of fun but VERY difficult. ... "

" ... Very challenging yet but still very rewarding! ... "
" ... Fun game but is quite hard ... "
