I should probably review this game after a couple hundred hours. It's a really good game. It has too many good ideas and it's definitely one of my "forever" games; I'll probably always keep it installed and no matter how many times I beat it, I'll never really complete the game. Lots to explore, one of the most amazing physics simulations around, and a lot of diversity in the way you can choose to attack the game. Easily a 10/10 game for me. Soundtrack, gameplay, performance, replayability; it's just one of those perfect titles. Nolla Games absolutely killed it with this one.

At around 230 hrs of gameplay I gained two surprising insights: 1. mysteriously and withdrawn from my consciousness this game has become my number one most played game ever (including every console, system, platform). 2. at that time I got an achievement "The Gods are impressed" and despite the playing time I had to stop the game and google what the hell triggered this achievement (while I was hapharzardly fiddling with wands in a holy mountain) - that's when I understood that despite the game time I might have only scratched the surface by then. If you were ever looking for proof that chaos theory and determinism don't contradict each other, if you like (advanced)pixel-art, or - to quote a friend: if just want to get a max amount of pain for a really low price: give this game a go. It's one of a kind.

Masterclass in world building and sound design and game design in general I guess. I've beaten the game but I think I had a cosmetic mod on so It didn't give me the achievement grr
