It's not even as compelling or innovative as IOS examples such as Mos Speedrun or League of Evil'

'Its unique approach to such a saturated genre should be celebrated, and while it's not the perfect game by any stretch of the imagination, it certainly novel. And not novel in a "this game is unique, but garbage" sort of way. No, friends -- quite the opposite.'
