Difficult to the point of no longer being fun
Reviewed By: Lavender1138 on 21 Jun 2022I can definitely appreciate the effort that was put in here, but it’s wildly unbalanced and unfun. Plus the cosmetic changes are very unnecessary. For people who are already experts at the game, they might find the insane difficulty fun, but I don’t think the majority of people would enjoy this much at all.
Version 1.0 Recommended - No
