Epic

This game is epic. It has some radical sound effects. The art is totally tubular. But my favorite part is the sound effects. They are really funny. If this rating thing had ten stars that’s what I’d give it.

Yassss that porcupine.

My son and I have laughed at this app for years (he’s 13 now). Not necessarily that educational but man we’ve laughed at the sounds, of course the porcupine is the best. I’ve played it for so so many of my friends. Still listening in 2021.

The porcupine!

I came back to download it just to hear that porcupine again and I can’t get because of the update 😭 this was seriously the best! I have it on my old iPad but the sound isn’t working for some reason on just this app. Oh what I would do to just hear the porcupine again.

Needs to be updated

This app needs to be updated in order to be used. It would be great!

Used to love it;

But it’s been months now and it still hasn’t been updated for iOS. It was my toddlers favorite, and now it’s just taking up space while we wait for the update.
