### 1/5 — Too hard

*2021-01-09, version 1.1.1*

I downloaded this game a while back but forgot why I deleted it. I downloaded again and it became clear why I deleted it the first time. Lvl 1........LEVEL ONE!!!!!! Is set too hard for starting out. When I see a game that hard at the beginning, it’s a lost cause because they will want money for upgrades just to barely win. Haha I’m out

### 4/5 — Annoying but fun
