### 5/5 — Insta dl

*2019-10-01, version 1.5*

I haven’t even played this yet. I’ve just gotten to the point where I insta dl all the CL games hah. Haven’t played a bad one yet. They are all so darn good. Not sure what about them speak to me so much but I think they all just give me feelings of nostalgia in one way or another?.. I play big shot boxing allll the time. Almost every day.  My nephews and I are loving the new knight brawl. The battle golf. Wrasslin. Just... all of em. Really great stuff, here.  5 stars in good faith. You make incredible games. Nuff said. Thank you so much for helping me take my mind off of the real world shenanigans. Please keep the new games and updates comin!   :)

### 4/5 — I like it but...

*2016-08-11*

Is the no swing a feature or a bug

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-04-30*

This is an outstanding little game, love the 8-bit style to it. The only thing I would add is a number somewhere saying what hole I am on, but this is more of a convenience and doesn't detract from the game whatsoever. I also have battle golf which is a great game in itself!!

### 4/5 — I LOVE IT BUT...

*2015-11-23*

we need more levels! This game has a lot more potential. Maybe you can make it go up to 100lvls? Adding 25 each update of course to keep us intrigued. But overall, this game is great.

### 5/5 — :-)
