WHAT

I can’t even get in and my friend got it and she can’t even hear it

Used to be great, but…

I remembered how much I loved this game a long time ago. So I gladly redownloaded it and to my surprise it closes instantly after I try to open it! A real bummer considering how fun the game was. Please try to fix this, I know it’s been around 9 years but really want to play it again. 🔥✅🧋
