### 1/5 — Forced to accept tracking

*2025-03-15*

The game does not give option to decline tracking. I shouldn’t be forced to have my privacy invaded.

### 3/5 — Good  but text blocked by coin bar and easy to  accidentally hit menu button. Bonus game crashes

*2024-12-28*

Same as title of post. Game interface could be improved if the coin bar less prominent and did not block the text. Also, if the menu button didn’t move down during some dialogue and actions, it’d be easier to hit x instead of accidentally the menu button. 
Update: bonus game freezes at basket puzzle so I can’t complete game

### 3/5 — Good but text blocked by coin bar and easy to keep accidentally hitting the go to menu button

*2024-12-09*

Same as title of post. Game interface could be improved if the coin bar less prominent and did not block the text. Also, if the menu button didn’t move down during some dialogue and actions, it’d be easier to hit x instead of accidentally the menu button

### 2/5 — Coin bar overlaps text box

*2024-10-17*

Can only read half of the instructions as the coin bar is on top of it.

### 3/5 — Almost complete..

*2024-07-13*

Pretty much what u expect from these games 🥱  But overall, the main game is fine..
The reason for, what is from me, a rather low rating is the Bonus Game. Everytime i attempt the ‘basket switch’ puzzle on the kitchen cabinet, the entire game freezes up & leaves no choice but a full shutdown. 
Oh well.

### 1/5 — Tracking

*2024-07-01*

Allow tracking..
