### 1/5 — I’m really sad

*2020-08-01, version 2.0*

Looks like a good game but, when I enter a level I can’t see anything, even my own bricks or lanes. This makes this game unplayable. If you remove this glitch I think I would love the game though.

### 5/5 — OMG

*2020-07-31, version 2.0*

This game should be soooooo popular!

### 2/5 — Good idea but...

*2020-07-30*

Good concept but the levels do not work and everything is a blacks screen. This makes it unplayable

**Developer response:** SamGD7, thanks for your review. In last update 3.0 we fixed this issue with black screen. Hope you will enjoy our game now.
