### 1/5 — Opposite effect

*2024-05-10, version 1.31*

Soooo hahaha when I was very young I came upon this game & that was how I first learned what DMX was & ended up doing it over that next yearish. Yeah games like this probably shouldn’t exist idk 🤣

### 3/5 — Buster

*2022-09-12, version 1.31*

Fun game but it doesn’t work right 75% of the time.

### 5/5 — Perfect while on DXM

*2021-06-17, version 1.31*

Amplifies it 5x

### 2/5 — Alright

*2021-06-13, version 1.31*

Not like dxm (apart from the vomiting)

### 1/5 — “Expletive Fox, we sippin juice for life”

*2021-05-09, version 1.2.1*

Tussin

### 5/5 — Im playing this on dxm

*2019-12-27, version 1.2.1*

Its dope!

### 1/5 — Many misconceptions

*2019-08-01, version 1.2.1*

The game is not designed as a fun game to play, but instead as a game that tries to convince kids playing that if you abuse dxm, your friends will leave you. That is kind of messed up, the app should support helping people with problems. Although the message is totally flawed and crazy for kids to be tricked into, most of the negative effects in the are uncommon when on dxm and most of the time extremely minor. For example vision and sound distortion are pretty much non existent if you don’t take a very high dose and are purposely trying to devoid yourself of sensory input (like a dark room). The app tries to help prevent dxm abuse, but it just ends up spreading misinformation and misconceptions.

### 5/5 — Nothing wrong but it has a creepy feeling towards it

*2019-06-24, version 1.2.1*

Pretty creepy IDK why, especially to play at night but uhh, yeah I am pretty confused over just... everything. But I found out it’s about taking leen or promethezeen. Average ordinary peoooe use it but lol.

### 4/5 — Grossly inaccurate

*2018-11-11, version 1.2.1*

It’s a terrible depiction of the drug but it’s pretty fun to play while on it.

### 1/5 — Terrible lol

*2018-10-19, version 1.2.1*

The good effects are said to be terrible, and the terrible effects (like vomiting) only last a small amount of time if at all. Honestly this sounds more like alcohol than DXM...
