Pretty Good

This is pretty good but you used to be able to choose between endless and time limit in bird hunting. And it doesn't save your high score. Put endless back in bird hunting and fix the high score thing. Also, when you play VS. human, make it so you have an option if using the same device or 2 different devices.

Lacking

In 2009, this game may have been decent, but now it's just a relic. Update the resolution and screen size pronto.
