Yawn…

### 5/5 — Jesus loves

*2024-01-25, version 4.27*

You

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-03, version 4.25*

Open the app and I can’t do anything no matter where I tap

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-09-03, version 4.25*

Great time waster n great game

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2022-07-13, version 4.22*

It really sucked me in.

### 5/5 — Idle Games

*2022-06-02, version 4.21*

This game is enjoyable to play.

### 5/5 — Cute fun game

*2022-05-17, version 4.20*

It’s exactly what you’d expect, and just a cute, fun game. Weirdly enough, the tutorial stands out from other games. Gives you enough information to get started, but lets you figure out what you need on your own.

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed My experience

*2022-05-10, version 4.20*

Give it a go!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-05-07, version 4.20*

Game is simple but fun only thing I’d say to improve is the achievement screen doesn’t notify you when you finish a achievement for gems so you have to check after each run

### 4/5 — Pleasantly surprised…

*2022-04-16, version 4.20*

This is a decent game, and is three stars, except for the fact it doesn’t bug you with purchasable packs and asks you and doesn’t demand you to write a review
