Reception
Variety called it "okay".[3]
gollark: Wasn't it also that they proved very defensible somehow?
gollark: Twice, I think.
gollark: Australia went to war with emus and lost.
gollark: (I managed to get around that and do *some* amount by signing up to the fitness thing at school as my sports option (you are required to pick one), which obligates me to do some stuff once a week when that's on, but this doesn't really generalize)
gollark: I feel like I'm too easily bored/distracted for that to get past me not particularly liking exercise.
