Up close, you can find the text running across both the Vapor Steel colored star shaped panels and also on the six-sided White. The latter is slightly tougher to make out, as the light silver text really doesn’t stand out very much.

“Control the game is everything”, “Regardless if they are beautiful or not, I need goals” and “Faster than a bullet” are three of the key featured quotes that players came up with.
