### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2022-12-24, version 4.1.3*

The game will not load past the initial Sega logo no matter what I try.

### 4/5 — Please update saves😅

*2022-06-28, version 4.1.3*

The game is great and I love the renewed look. But I really wanna be able to save my game. Every time I tried to save it says I have to sign in and then won’t let me. I’ve read that the developers have fixed some of there other games so please consider fixing this one. Over all frat game.

### 1/5 — Update

*2022-06-18, version 4.1.3*

Update please like you did the sonic game 

So we can actually save the game and connect to Game Center

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2022-06-09, version 4.1.3*

This game was good and just the same as I remembered!

### 3/5 — So close…

*2022-01-22, version 4.1.3*

The controls in this game ruin the otherwise awesome title. The controls in this game are static and unchangeable making it difficult to maneuver the game as intended seeing that the genesis has a very large controller and accompanying buttons. Rare ball drop but if you can get pass that this is an otherwise grand game.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2021-11-18, version 4.1.3*

Great game but it will NOT allow you to save the game.

### 3/5 — Great game but doesn’t save

*2020-09-11, version 4.1.0*

The game is still as I remember back in the days. The only flaw is that the app allegedly allows you to save your process, but every time I attempt It either crashes or restarts the game.

### 1/5 — Beware..Save feature is broken.

*2020-07-04, version 4.1.0*

I would not recommend paying for this until they ship a version where the save actually works. Right now it crashes the game and does not save anything.

### 4/5 — Missed this game!

*2020-03-31, version 4.1.0*

One of my favorites growing up, never could beat it. Make the dang buttons on the screen bigger tho, those buttons are made for ants. Makes this game way more annoying than it used to be. Just increase the size of the sensor for them!!!! Please!!!!

### 5/5 — I love this game!!!

*2020-01-16, version 4.1.0*

I’m dead I love you Christian whitehead
