The game promised an exciting experience with a wide variety of mascots to choose from, but I found the selection to be extremely limited. The few mascots that were available were repetitive and lacked creativity. Additionally, the controls were clunky and the gameplay was repetitive. Overall, I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and engaging mascot experience.
