### 1/5 — RUBBISH

*2015-10-18, version 3.5*

Really bad can't play 2 player

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2015-10-02*

Very low response time, i am not impressed!

### 1/5 — Zero stars 😠😤😖😡👹💩

*2015-01-12, version 1.2.4*

This game is more rubbish than 💩! The pencil can't even move and there are no instructions on how to move the pencil. If you are reading I suggest that you don't install this app and enjoy your live! 😊

### 2/5 — Bad

*2014-05-23*

The ad's are bad and it wouldn't let me pick the line that I wanted

### 1/5 — Good game spoilt with adverts

*2013-03-03, version 1.2.4*

Downloaded, played, 15 second advert deleted, I will not allow my child to be bombarded with adverts to buy a game.

### 1/5 — Trash ads in game

*2013-01-13, version 1.2.4*

Trash ads pop during game. Blocks for 10 seconds and so annoying. Learn about proper user experience. Deleted are his don't download this track

### 5/5 — Like

*2012-12-04*

Dadadadddadada

### 1/5 — BAD APP

*2012-10-26*

Controls are inaccurate and most of the time when you make a move nothing happens or when it does work it does a different move to what you actually did.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2012-10-21*

App doesn't work, worst game ever.  Sad I wasted the time downloading it.

### 1/5 — The inconvenient ads are horrible

*2012-10-17*

Not 2 player which would have been better
