It is physically unplayable. At first, I thought it actually might’ve been that the usernames I was trying were already taken, because my name is fairly common. So I tried again. And again. Eventually, I just typed in complete gibberish that could not be replicated if I tried, and it still said it was taken. I tried random numbers, I even just tried my name normally! I cannot play online. It’s probably not a fault on the developers, as I’ve seen no one else with this problem, but I thought I should share. ### 1/5 — Game suc *2026-01-16, version 3.0* This game is bad 😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — THIS GAME SUCKS *2026-01-11, version 3.0* I can’t even play every user name is takin ### 1/5 — 온라인 *2025-10-05* 뭔 이름을 어떤 걸로 해도 디 중복뜨니까 깔지 마세요 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I win *2026-08-21, version 3.0* The thrill of beating my daughter at this game is indescribable ### 5/5 — Simply Awesome *2026-08-01, version 3.0* It’s just what you need for a nice afternoon of games.
