    Spry Fox does a solid job in presenting a polished, attractive-looking package, even if the gameplay doesn't quite meet the same standard.

    An entertaining oddity that never panders, enriching through tasteful adult gags and a truly earned sense of progression. [Oct 2014, p.90]

    The cute stylings hide the deceptively difficult and overly complicated gameplay mechanics. [Nov 2014, p.76]
