I wish there was no stamina meter like before the update. ### 3/5 — Get rid of the possible careers bar at the bottom *2019-12-22* Totally kills the fun of finding out what you’ll become! I played this game 8 years ago freshman year and it was perfect back then! You can just see what you’ll become and that’s no fun. The mystery is what keeps it fun. ### 5/5 — Very cool *2019-05-24, version 2.0.4* Good game ### 4/5 — Doesn’t start up anymore *2019-04-23* It used to work, but now it just doesn’t. The Lite version still runs well. This is frustrating because I bought the full version, and now it glitches out on me... ### 5/5 — Thank you Bruce Hill, very cool! *2019-03-06* This game is the point of my existence.

I don't if it's what I'm doing but as far as I know it won't work, ### 5/5 — Fun time waster *2018-06-14* Charming and a pretty good time passer by ### 5/5 — Great little gem, tries to be itself *2018-05-14* It’s no Fortnite, but it serves its purpose and is fairly fun for the price range. Great find. ### 5/5 — Cool game for killing time *2018-02-17* Just download this, don't even ask. Really cool game. ### 4/5 — Fun toilet game *2017-11-08* This is a great game for the price it is ranged at and is a great toilet game that can distract you for about 5 minutes at a time ### 4/5 — Help me pls *2017-11-05, version 2.0.4* I can’t buy the full version of the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-01-01* This app does not work.

Don't believe everything you see on YouTube ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2017-04-26* Whenever I touch play nothing happens And I paid the full price for a game that didn't work ### 1/5 — It's a lie! *2017-04-16, version 2.0.0* If you are playing on a phone or iPod do not buy this game, it says it is compatible for the iPhone and iPod but it doesn't even work, it just flashes to a new screen, what a waste of 2 dollars... ### 1/5 — Help *2017-03-26* I Have Bought The Game But When I Press Play It Takes Me To The Home Screen ### 1/5 — Do not work *2017-02-24, version 2.0.0* The game dose not work.

Seriously, I highly recommend! I just wish they updated this game more often… ### 5/5 — This game is fun *2025-02-03* Exactly as the title says, I like this game, it’s a good and fun time waster ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-09-25* It’s fun, but I’m not sure why. ### 5/5 — Bro Tip *2024-03-04* If your also experiencing the flashing, reinstall the game.

Easily the best time waster I have. ### 5/5 — Just as good as I remember *2019-11-08* Yeah ### 5/5 — Unique gameplay *2019-10-29* I loved to play this game when it came out and now I‘m very happy to rediscover it! I‘d love to see more games like that! Or maybe a sequel.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
