I genuinely have a lot of fun playing this. It definitely needs a little more polishing up when it comes to bugginess and certain mechanics (some seem a bit delayed), but nothing really makes it unplayable. I’m not sure if there is a level creator, but I would love it if there is one. Totally recommend this ### 4/5 — 👍 *2024-10-23* my only complaint for this game is that the controls are EXTREMELY janky, especially for a mobile device. otherwise, pretty alright game ### 5/5 — Good *2024-03-19* GOOOOOOOD ### 5/5 — Wait this is actually good *2024-03-19* Got a couple ads for it, played it, liked it a lot :). Vibe is really nice, as it’s visually enjoyable and has nice audio. This is such a cute little game ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2022-02-20* !!! ### 5/5 — Cool gameplay *2022-01-23* This game has a lot of cool stuff and I really like it also the notes that you can buy but it was is a lot of money to buy the pack this game awesome who is a good game but it’s very loud and I think the name of the game it’s just not giving ## Frequently asked questions about Ginst ### What is Ginst's core gameplay mechanic?
