### 1/5 — This isn’t very good

*2025-04-19*

I always liked the game as a kid, but when I played this it only had my side and I couldn’t switch to the other side of the board

**Developer response:** Hi Rosella385,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're really sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations.

It sounds like you're referring to the issue where only one side of the board is visible or playable — thank you for pointing that out. We’re currently working on improving the user interface and will look into adding the ability to switch sides more easily.

Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we hope to bring back the fun you remember from childhood. Stay tuned for future updates!

Best regards,
SaiWen
