### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-03-01*

It mocks me for losing! And gives me negative criticism like” consider yourself NOT a samurai ”

### 2/5 — Fun but laggy

*2020-11-21, version 2.0*

It lags a lot when it ends

### 2/5 — Crashes and combos

*2020-06-14, version 2.0*

Too much crashes when game end

How to make a combos should be reprogrammed in the game , the combo doesnt seem to be always recognize.

### 2/5 — Good game, bad optimization.

*2020-05-22, version 2.0*

I tried this game once. Launched it, and played "arcade mode".  Now, the gameplay would be solid if it were to actually properly recognised swipes.  Most of the time, I had to swipe on one emoji at a time because if I were to do more, emojis would ignore my swipes and just keep going like nothing happened. Also, there wasn't an obvious lower framerate, but as someone who likes to use unity for fun, something felt slow. Maybe it was the framerate and I couldn't tell?  Work on optimization and then it'll be great!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-05-20*

Pure amazing

### 5/5 — Nice game for samurais!
