### 4/5 — 넘넘 조아요!! 근데…

*2026-08-10*

엄마랑 오락실 가서 햇엇어용 근데 제가 넘넘 못해서 ㅋㅋ 이걸로 재미 겸 연습 할려구 다운 받아봤어요! 엄마한테 보여주니까 조아하네요!ㅎㅎ 근데 이어서 할수잇엇으면 조켓어용 레벨을 첨부터 말구 하던거부터! 하구싶어서!! 이 하나만 
고쳐주심 주글때까지 플레이 합니다 ㅋㅋㅋ 그럼 감사함미당!

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.21*

If you love the old original and struggle with phones even a little it will do your head in. And to play 1 game you have to watch 4 ads!!!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2026-07-04, version 1.1.21*

Played this as a kid many many too many quarters spent before school. Now at 47 I’m determined to get to the last level.

### 5/5 — Good times

*2026-06-30, version 1.1.21*

Brining back great memories!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-06-29, version 1.1.21*

Años buscando este bendito juego

### 5/5 — Memories Never End

*2026-06-05, version 1.1.21*

Absolutely Incredible, Memories and Nostalgia at its Best. Enchanting Memoirs that Fullfill the Soul.

### 4/5 — Needs controller support

*2026-05-24*

Game is faithful to the original, but needs controller support, specifically the Dpads on them. Turning off wifi/cellular avoids ads altogether, and log in every half hour to stockpile gems.

### 3/5 — This is fire!!!

*2026-05-08, version 1.1.21*

I love this game! Taito arcade games are sometimes the best! Especially the bubble bobble series, but I think it’s missing some features.
