### 1/5 — Waste game

*2023-03-28*

This is not even a game it’s time waste. I spent 30 minutes to create a username and it always says “this username is already taken.” I tried everything but still haven’t been able to create any username. It just wouldn’t let me in without a username and country. Trash app. Deserves zero stars.

**Developer response:** Hi mitu-02 ,
Thanks for your comment and sorry that you had a bad experience when creating your username. Based on your comment, it seems unlikely that all the usernames that you tried were all taken, so possible issues are: was your connexion to the internet on and stable? Are you using any VPN, firewall or proxy server with your device? In that case you might need to disable them for this step to work smoothly. If none of these apply, please write us to support@helvetreis.ch so we can further investigate and have it solved for you. In the meantime try the lite version, no username required, so you can at least play the game properly.
