### 5/5 — Love the mechanics of the game

*2019-07-05, version 1.0.7*

Very simple and easy to pick up and play

### 5/5 — Response to developers!!!!!!! PLEASE READ!

*2017-10-04, version 1.0.1*

This may be hard to make sense I am a bit of a coder myself and I love it so far but do you think you could add multiplayer battles against other players and/or levels like collecting a certain amount of stars or defeating a boss and then progressing it It may be hard work but I think you may be able to do it! Even if you don’t, I still will love the game so much! Thank you for reading!

**Developer response:** So glad you find Grapple Gum good! I've put all my heart on it and I'll be curious to know what features you would like to be added in future update?
