Why? *2024-07-25, version 2.0.0* Who's idea was it to put fullscreen ads that end a run in this game? ### 3/5 — Kk *2021-04-02, version 2.0.0* Que sea iba por 40 y me salió anuncio mal ahí wacho ### 3/5 — It’s good but.... *2021-01-10, version 2.0.0* So it’s a pretty good game because you can just kill time and just show how good you are at being patient but I was doing really well then an advertisement showed up and it stops it when it shows up so you lose. Which is really bad. But it’s a good game. ### 3/5 — Was ok *2020-07-16, version 2.0.0* Game was fun accept the adds would pop up and ruin the whole point of the game. ### 4/5 — Great *2019-02-17, version 2.0.0* Great way to kill time but ads just pop up and cancel it ### 2/5 — Bom, mas podia ser melhor *2018-11-10, version 2.0.0* Inútil ### 3/5 — Advertisements *2017-08-07, version 2.0.0* It is a great way to kill time and will show others how patient you are when on the leaderboard it shows your friends the time you got. I tried to get into the top twenty when twenty one minutes in, an add popped up, and with me instantly closing the app, I was faced with a game over screen. I was very disappointed but it is a good idea, as a result it doesn't receive five stars from me. ### 5/5 — Perfecta *2016-12-05, version 2.0.0* Una vez la pruebas no puedes dejar de jugar! ### 5/5 — Yes *2016-11-30, version 2.0.0* Its again worked 😍 ### 5/5 — Recomendable y adictiva *2016-11-26, version 2.0.0* Entretiene y engancha, recomendable! ### 5/5 — Adictiva *2016-11-26, version 2.0.0* Es muy adictiva, en el trabajo no hay quien me gane, quizá me despidan, pero no dejaré que me quiten el record! 🏆 ### 5/5 — Un clásico *2016-11-26, version 2.0.0* Pues eso, no puede faltarte el clásico en tu móvil... nunca se sabe para qué te puede hacer falta... pero que nunca nunca 😄 ### 2/5 — A good idea at first... *2016-07-18, version 0* The app sounds like a good idea from the title and the competition has to be really tuff... Only... You'd need to have a lot of patience closing and re-opening the app, since it freezes the moment you open the app and when ever you push a button. I'd imagine that would be annoying to have the app crash while you are holding onto the screen for 2+ hours. Sadly I haven't come that far as to being able to log in, so I guess I'll just delete this now. :D ### 5/5 — :( *2015-11-01* İşsizliğin dibi ahahah ### 5/5 — Update *2015-09-27, version 0* Can You please update that app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No lo entiendo..! *2021-12-06, version 2.0.0* Lo descargue por 1 min, viendo q solo aprecia el botón y cuenta atrás (al mantener presionado), y luego te da la puntuación y nada más..! ### 1/5 — Dumb placed ads *2020-12-25* Wouldn’t be bad if you didn’t get interrupted with ads in the run. It ruins the time ### 1/5 — Adds cancel progress *2020-08-25, version 2.0.0* Literally pay to win what a joke ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2016-10-16, version 0* It doesn't do anything, justs wastes battery and storage. ### 1/5 — TAM BİR İŞSİZLİK *2015-08-27* TAM BİR İŞSİZSEN BU OYUN SANA GÖRE😁😁😢 ### 1/5 — Woow *2015-08-27, version 0* Nicht nur sinnlos.
