### 5/5 — Cutest sound ever 🥰

*2026-08-20, version 1.0.2*

The dwarfs are so cute because they go “yah yah!” It’s so cute!🥰

### 5/5 — Add more levels please

*2026-08-19, version 1.0.2*

Love this game … we need more maps

### 2/5 — Poor function

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.2*

The daily race only gives you 20 seconds, the walking glitches often, there are very little levels, and recent updates have made gameplay worse.

### 2/5 — Lost progress be careful investing time into this game.

*2026-07-15, version 1.0.2*

I had lots of skins open all the islands complete including the “hidden ones” “click the button to reveal them” was waiting for the new islands to be added so haven’t played in awhile decided to play and it was all reset. My progress was reset as if I never played the game. In the beginning I was satisfied playing to waste time and get gems to upgrade my stuff but after being reset think it’s time to delete and move on. Unless I can get my progress back.

### 3/5 — Wish for updates
