### 5/5 — Letztes Update

*2023-05-08*

Ich spiele schon seid Jahren. Aber seid dem letzten Update läuft es nicht mehr schön flüssig. Häufig verzögert der Schuss und das Spiel ruckelt stark. Neu installieren hat zu keiner Besserung geführt. Bitte nacharbeiten, es wäre schade keine Freude mehr an diesem schönen Spiel zu haben.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2022-03-05, version 1.64*

Thanks to you my eye hand contact has improved.  I am 74 I love this game I can see how much help it would be to older folks especially in a home      If you slowed it down for them it would improve their hand eye give them something to do awaken their brains soon they would be on the regular faster games.   All I can see is how much goods this action would do for quickness sharpness etc etc even mood   I jog four miles a day now I’m working my brain thanks so much

### 5/5 — It still works

*2021-04-15, version 1.64*

It still works with this latest update that Apple did to the game. 

I still like this game. I purchased all the levels a long time ago and completed them many times. I just keep resetting the game to do it all over again. 

I didn’t like the new version of the game.

### 4/5 — Just..

*2020-03-07, version 1.64*
