  • Awful

    By It'sFilthyFrank
    The main character is a they/them, but it should be was/were. Awful voice acting and the Spanish translation is cancer inducing. Almost makes subscribing to Netflix feel like a crime.

  • Terrible UI

    Throw the ball at the thing okay. Can’t aim, can’t play.

  • I enthusiastically recommend!

    This is a lovely game in both style and story, and the mix of turn-based tactics and physics-based dodgeball throwing gameplay really engaged me (and it works very well on mobile). I managed to beat the game in my first run, but I wouldn’t call it too easy, given that it took many careful hours over multiple sittings. I’m also impressed by how much post-game content there is in the challenges and nightmare mode, and how hard they seem to be. All this, plus the free-with-Netflix price tag, makes me want everyone considering the game to give it a try.

  • Please add controller support!

    I love this game a lot & recommend it often. I do wish the UI was easier to navigate. It’s great that the Challenges auto-save, but not giving them a Restart button means you have to wait for the AI to kill your whole team every time you need to restart a level. In a mode that plays like a puzzle game, this is incredibly frustrating & disincentivizes experimenting. I’ve beat the game and still don’t fully understand how character level ups and ability unlocks work. These usability moments are particularly annoying because of how smooth and intuitive the rest of the game is. Thanks for this gorgeous game!

    Impactful. Made me cry. It’s a shame it got such poor reviews by some. I almost didn’t play it. I was just searching for a monument valley 3 and I found this. It’s nice to be represented as a first generation black Caribbean woman.

  • Good game but…

    It’s actually a pretty darn good game. Restarting is annoying but it adds to the replay-ability of the game. But I'm about halfway through, and just had to turn it off. It’s as if someone came up with a good idea for a turn-based strategy game, and just sat around and tried to think of a way to stuff politics and gender identity into it

  • Game crashes

    Can’t even open the game, it crashes right after I log into my account. Already tried reinstall, please fix

  • Cool game, but starting from the top after one death?

    I like the whole chess by dodgeball element, but having to restart the entire game and go through the entire story after losing a single level has made me lose interest.

  • Great Game

    Game is a lot of fun. Story and characters are interesting, dynamic, & heart felt. Loved playing the game. Dialog is amazing, voice acting is remarkable. Gameplay is a very fun tactical dodgeball based game. The only drawback with the game is the restarting from chapter one on a failed dream. While I only had to restart maybe three times before completing the final chapter, it was frustrating.
