The game received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] IGN cited the lack of lasting appeal as the biggest problem about .detuned, saying that "selling for $2.99 in the US PlayStation Store, that's about a dollar per minute of entertainment".[4]

gollark: Yes; complain all you want about cryptocurrencies but the existing payment system is moronically stupid.
gollark: I like them. They are somewhat good as a concept.
gollark: Also edge computing, AI, serverless, machine learning, and web-scale.
gollark: No, not cryptocurrency, just regular fiat currency but with blockchain and cloud.
gollark: No, it will be stored in osmarksbank™ using advanced blockchain and cloud.
