### 4/5 — This.. is alright?

*2024-03-16, version 1.2*

Baldy Old Man is a game where you avoid the neighbours cats and collect coins? Seems decent, although it was a pretty good idea. It was executed pretty plain, if you do remake the game. Add more enemies and maps or something like passing by cars in a road map or even a new enemy like an untrained dog or something safer for younger audiences (that is if they play this game) I give it about 3 stars. Better then THOSE mobile games.

### 5/5 — BaldyOldMan

*2021-06-15, version 1.1*

I would just like to say that this game is pretty good. 

I feel like the BaldyOldMan is a very good character as he represents a lot of minorities such as: bald people, old people and men.He also seems like the sort of guy to donate a half eaten tin of beans to the food bank.

I would also like to say that I think it would be a good idea to make a spin off of BaldyOldMan, I think a shooter would be good as BaldyOldMan could take his revenge on the Mingy cats.

 Other genres would work too for example, a horror game where BaldyOldMan has to fend off an army of werecats while in the french catacombs eating escargot. That’s pretty scary if you ask me!! 

Any way I would just like to finish by saying keep up the good work!!

### 3/5 — It’s aight

*2020-04-15*

This game is alright, the background music is okay but the audio the man makes is absolutely annoying. You get an ad every time you lose and sometimes they don't load. If this game isn’t a joke and you actaully want to improve it and make people want to play it though I have a couple of suggestions. I recommend adding a lot more obstacles, make the jumping smoother and faster so you can actaully calculate your jumps better, add a tutorial and make more characters you can play as. That just for starters, if your really serious about this game you should add different levels too, Im a sucker for stats, and I mean stats besides a highscore. If you could have some board that keeps count of stuff like what was your longest time, how many times you’ve jumped, how many coins you’ve collected, it’d make it more interesting. Also adding a shop would be cool and to top off the cake, if you could kill enemies, that’d be so cool! 
Anyways hope you read this and respond, I’d like to see what you have to say.

### 5/5 — I love the game

*2019-07-03, version 1.1*

Yo dude I haven’t even played this game yet but I know this game is litty my brethrens. The bald old man reminds me of my dead nan because she had hair cancer. She liked being bald except when she went outside because she would get bullied. But I am still very excited for this game.
