### 5/5 — You confuse and frighten me.

*2021-03-27, version 1.0.1*

This “game” confuses and frightens me, and I don’t know what it’s purpose is... Like was it just a spontaneous piece of work you made? Is it an art piece? Is it just a game you made? Whatever the case, I love it, and it gives me feels. I’d love if you could respond and tell me what it’s supposed to be.

### 1/5 — Bad

### 1/5 — How the heck do you even play?!

*2021-02-12, version 1.0.1*

First off I don’t know how to play second what is the point of this game,this game is suuuuuuuuuuper dumb I thought I would like it since I have 2 corgis so I’m sad:(

### 4/5 — It’s good but

*2020-12-05, version 1.0.1*

The art is great I love your game 
sometimes I just really wish there was a FreePlay where you can just roam around by yourself without getting pulled away from your freedom

### 4/5 — Pretty accurate

*2020-08-21, version 1.0.1*

Love this game...it’s chaotic, makes zero sense, and features a little psycho stumper who’s existence revolves around destruction. 100% accurate to living with a corgi. 😁

### 4/5 — Really cool but..

*2019-10-20, version 1.0.1*

Would be even cooler if it supported the new phones.

### 2/5 — How

*2018-12-30, version 1.0.1*

### 2/5 — Bad Corgi
