### 5/5 — 不错不错

*2026-06-23*

很有创意

### 5/5 — 很好玩

*2026-06-13*

持续更新内容真的很用心了

### 5/5 — 好玩，但还有优化空间

*2026-05-14*

玩法很有创意，每天刷步数更有动力了。但是这个灵根测试玩法太不友好了，我第二次测出来的结果甚至没有第一次好，希望可以在新的测试结果出来之后让用户自行选择要不要替换，哪怕加个付费购买重新测试次数都行…而且最想要的扇子法宝居然还没有。

### 5/5 — 灵根

*2026-05-06*

能不能多给几次测试灵根的次数

### 5/5 — 建议

*2026-04-30*

对于没有灵动岛的很不友好是否可以优化？另外除飞剑外的武器较少，另外是否可以提高同类武器的差异化
