Well, it's a start. There isn't really a lot in the game. Some buttons would send you out the menu, and when the others do something, the menus and settings are often particularly bland. Some more lively environments would be nice, and it'd be great if there was more to interact with.
If you have viewed my games you may have seen "The Ludis", unfortunately i made that in xna and distribution proved to be a problem, so this is a remastered version very much still in development.
If you have a go please leave a comment, tell what would make it better?, stuck with something? just ask, find a Bug, let me know, thanks for looking and don't hold back if you hate something do tell!.
