### 4/5 — Amazing game but could use competitive aspects

*2026-08-26, version 1.44.0*

I absolutely love this game and getting high scores to compare with friends is the best part. The game would be so much better if there was a more direct way to compare scores like a multiplayer mode or in game scoreboards to compete with friends

### 5/5 — Really good

### 5/5 — GOATED

*2026-07-17, version 1.42.3*

Don’t give this game a bad review just because it’s " to hard “

### 4/5 — Tiny issue

*2026-07-05, version 1.42.3*

This game is great, it’s fun and addictive and the customisations in this are great are very well designed , although recently I’ve encountered a bug when an add pops up. Usually when a certain time has passed when you watch the add the big x button to exit the ad appears, not in this case. Because of this tiny bug I can’t get out of the ad and I have to get out of the app and refresh and reload the whole app. Apart from that this game is awesome.

*2026-05-13, version 1.40.0*

Genuinely a fun game. I do wish that you could have more music options, because the same music over and over can get a little much (don’t get me wrong the music is still great). Maybe you could buy new music in the shop or something
