### 1/5 — Can’t play anymore!

*2025-04-01, version 3.0.3*

Played a ton, now it’s unplayable so to screen rotating constantly. Would love a fix

### 1/5 — Impossible to play

*2025-03-20, version 3.0.3*

I used to love this game, but if you play, play on switch. The screen will move one way, and when you try to play on that side, it goes back to normal.

### 2/5 — Game error

*2025-02-01, version 3.0.3*

It is a fun game! But it started to flip the screen repeatedly for no apparent reason non stop. It is very annoying.

### 4/5 — Fun but rotation is all glitchy!

*2024-09-02, version 3.0.3*

Hey can you guys fix a problem with the screen constantly rotating? It’s not my phone.

### 2/5 — Used to love it, but can no longer play

*2024-07-25, version 3.0.3*

The rotating screen prevents gameplay. Will this be fixed?

### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

*2024-06-04*

First of all great game!!!! I had so much fun playing this as a kid, but when I tried downloading it on my phone it wouldn’t work. It downloaded but every time I go to play it it just goes to a black screen. Please help I really want to play it again.

### 1/5 — Great! Loved…until last month

*2024-01-15, version 3.0.3*

What happened! This was all I played. My FAVORITE GAME! Then all of a sudden the game went crazy. It keeps changing from landscape to portrait WHILE I’m trying to play. I’ve done all the updates, turned the phone on/off, deleted/reinstalled. Deleted, waited 2-3 weeks then redownloaded and it still doesn’t work. Is this something you can fix or is the fun over😩

### 5/5 — Serious bug that needs fixing ASAP

*2023-11-11, version 3.0.3*

Hey I’ve been playing this game since shortly after it came out and it always ran fine but now just this past couple months you’ve updated it and it breaks and changes to landscape mode every time a move is made. THIS IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING BECAUSE THIS GAME IS VERY NICE TO CASUALLY PLAY AND NOW IT IS UNPLAYABLE! :(

### 5/5 — Captivating

*2023-06-30, version 3.0.3*

Have downloaded the new version for my granddaughters but it keeps turning within the move and then stops the pathway. Very frustrating for my granddaughters.  Please help.

### 1/5 — Rotating

*2023-06-26*

Game is no longer supported :( If you are getting the below problem. Disappointed because it was a great game but now my devices are too new to run it properly 🤣
Game was fun but now discovered as others mentioned, the game keeps rotating the screen when you try to make a move. Hopefully this will be fixed but even when you try to lock your device from rotating, the app still rotates so def an issue that needs to be corrected hopefully.
