I really like this game. It is fun and it helps you learn to be patient and it’s super fun to see how high you can get, but there’s some issues first off sometimes when you load into the game, the hammer gets stuck into some of the things and it takes a second to Get out or you just basically have to reset the game or come out and come back in and the other issue is it’s not loading anytime I go in.
