### 1/5 — “Intimacy VI” is shaking too much!

*2026-07-19, version 4.3*

The extremely fast shaking cube in “Intimacy VI” is over the top! Please slow that down, stop it, or simply remove it! That one is making me way too dizzy! In fact, I totally stop playing the game because of that. To be clear, I like the moving objects and it’s helpful for reason you haven’t considered yet but it’s shaking way too much this time. You should review your game for any other levels where it goes too far. There should be a limitation on how fast you’ll shake objects in the game. Let me know if and when you decide to fix that problem because I want to get back to enjoying the game as soon as possible. Thank you.

### 5/5 — budur

### 5/5 — April 2026

*2026-04-12, version 4.3*

I’ve recently purchased an iPad the cheap one of course and remembered that I had purchased this game a long time ago. To my surprise it works just fine on the iPad so I was delighted. This game in 2026. It’s still an absolute banger and I went ahead and purchased the additional packs. I appreciate that it’s still $.99 although you can purchase various chapters. I appreciate that structure if you don’t feel like spending the two or three dollars for the whole thing you can just try it out for Buck and see if you like it. This is by far my absolute favorite game on iOS.
