### 3/5 — Rather vr

*2024-11-26*

It works on almost no surfaces so you can’t really play it

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-08-31*

Really great game I recommend this one is really good

### 3/5 — This game is great, but

*2024-07-19*

When I scan the wall, the first time it worked, but the second time essence keeps telling me no surface detected, even though I’m clearing showing the surface am I forgetting something?

### 1/5 — Не возможно играть

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

Очень прихотливая, не все стены подходят.
И главный минус: камера очень сильно трясется и потом просто зависает. Или хотите сказать, что 14 айфон ничего не тянет?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-05-21, version 1.0*

Sooooo fun

### 5/5 — Спасибо

*2023-02-21, version 1.0*

Спасибо огромное очень классная игра вы достойны большего и ещё похоже на виртуальную реальность

### 5/5 — I’m impressed!

*2023-01-02, version 1.0*

At first I was skeptic about another AR game crashing. Though this did the first time, I closed the app and restarted it and enjoyed the product. ( I also found a cheat code, which involves squatting, so that’s a plus). My only issue is others knowing to close the app and restarting it to continue to play. ( you can say it’s the new version of cleaning a scratched video game disk). I love that it saves my progress so I can continue and as a dev I love the upgrade feature by subscribing and rating the game. “Chef’s Kiss” I look forward to more AR games. I’m a fan.

### 1/5 — :)
