Very very bad

I love this game… but the Optime Software version is so very hard. I tried in Easy mode, and I got destroyed. I didn’t win once.
Also, you should be able to choose your own colour. I mean not everybody likes the Bluey theme!!!
Lastly, if I try to play on landscape mode then pretty much 2/3 of the screen gets cut off and inaccessible.
BUT YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF!!!
p.s. i’m about to delete this, it’s the only thing i ever reviewed under five stars
