What players love

What players love

Players compare the satisfaction to PowerWash and Spilled: suck up gunk, jackhammer ore, filter gas, build a refinery, upgrade everything. Reviewers praise the relaxed pace, the art and the sound, and find more depth in the upgrades than they expected; short by design, achievements done in about five hours, and the recurring wish is a longer version.
