### 1/5 — WORST EVER

*2016-05-15, version 1.8*

It's not even fun. You can't get past 3.....if you get even close to the head, you're dead. Seriously the worst game ever......

### 1/5 — Worst game since all other flappy bird knockoffs

*2016-05-11*

I would rate lower than one star, but Apple is too optimistic in regards to their applications. I know Carmelo Anthony said them at there's a free iPad if you get 20, but that's entirely impossible. You can maybe get two on a good run. Maybe. There is no possible way to do good at this game. It's basically Flappy Bird but with a giant head, making it impossible to go through the pipes, or in this game, other giant heads. It's the worst game I have ever played.

### 1/5 — 😒
