### 5/5 — Instructions unclear

*2024-02-20*

Got my bale stuck in my hay. I thought the bosses were cool until I saw one in my closet. There is a being trapped inside the Mecha lizard. It's trying to escape to the real world. Lemons are humanities only hope. Always lemon

### 5/5 — 5 stars❌🧢

*2020-07-26, version 1.0.1*

I bought an iPhone just so I could play this game

### 5/5 — A true work of genius!

*2020-01-30, version 1.0.1*

The attention to detail, the incredible improved controls, AND the track legends all make this game the beauty it is. Never have I beheld such a work of art.

### 5/5 — Weather

*2020-01-23, version 1.0.1*

Got the game with only normal weather. No rainstorm. No jungle. No waterfall. No nothing. Stupid 
But Jace committed to boulder so it’s ok

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.1*

I don’t need my mom to tuck me in at night anymore because I know this game will keep me safe

### 5/5 — Slong Run

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.1*

Not all hero’s wear capes. Some wear the skimpiest XC uniforms you have ever seen. If you have ever finished a tiring run and thought to yourself: “I want to do some virtual running”, then this is the game for you. Featuring an all star cast of 38 characters, the likes of which the world has never seen, including fan favorites such as Patrick, Natalie, Joey, and Veronica, who along with the amazing alumni, can usual special abilities. This game delves deep into the psyche of what it means to be a runner. Based on real life running, which is already exciting in it's own right, this game includes obstacles such as cars, cows, and fly swarms, and of course giant robots, the usual day to day obstacles runners face. And the best part is that it's all free. No need to grab your parents magical money card and the three wacky digits in the back. This game was made by two epic gamer brothers the Stanfrod Twins. Guess you could say the creative genius ”runs” in the family.

### 5/5 — the name is actually chesterwellington420 silly mistake

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.1*

i’m really in bed rn writing this review at 10:44. i got practice at 5:30 but i am choosing to write this rather than sleep. i don’t even know what time zone u ppl r in so this may not even count. i’m tripping hard rn and just listening to hey there delilah on repeat. i don’t even really like the song.

after getting off on that tangent let’s talk bout this videojuego. i like most of it but i get quite triggered when these young men can’t throw lemons farther than 7.4 feet. they need to hit the gym or sum. i guess none of them played little league baseball. it doesn’t even take baseball experience to throw a lemon 20 feet. apparently none of these people had a childhood that involved being outdoors. i wish instead of throwing lemons they would squirt those gatorade bottles at the floating heads. anyways imma try and sleep now. good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite, 🥩🍈🦍☃️i’m quite knackered currently.
my ig is -charleswellington420 i think but i’m not really sure. i just made a ghetto looking second account so i can stock ppls stuff without having to worry about accidentally double tapping. accidentally double tapping is the most awkward situation possible. night night 🏎🏎🏎🏎 slide in my dms i double dog dare you

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2020-01-20, version 1.0.1*

So fun!

### 5/5 — for all jv runners

*2020-01-19, version 1.0.1*

this game is good for when coach tell us to get our miles up

### 5/5 — Testimony of Hay Bales 3

*2020-01-18, version 1.0.1*

I’d like to bare my testimony of this majestic game. It has truly changed my life for the better. It brings the spirit into my soul and it radiates out of my soul so that others can see the truthfulness of this game. That the Stanford Brothers made this game with inspiration from God. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
