The bar that shows how it gets clean didn’t work, otherwise, I like the game! I appreciate all of the work put into the game, but it’s the love that counts, and you can tell, there’s not a lot of that in it. Please remove the bugs. I want to level up in the game, but I physically and mentally can’t do that because of the bug. I really hope you get that bug out, and make the game a more fun thing with more love included. Please. For all of these young kid’s sake. Thanks! Byeeeeeeee! - MazyJL123!
