### 4/5 — Simpler time in gaming

*2026-05-14*

After 11 years I have stumbled upon this game and its addictive, so highly recommend not to get it or you’ll be sucked in, the game doesn’t flush you away with ads but there are ads nonetheless so they should prolly take em out if they are done updating the game.

### 1/5 — I have a problem

*2026-04-19*

For some reason the screen just turns upside down the game looks fun but I can’t play a game that’s upside down and playing the other way smears my camera

### 5/5 — Pretty good

### 5/5 — Really fun short game

*2016-11-06*

Perfect game when you have a few minutes to spare and want to play a game.  

Really like that when you die, you immediately start playing the next round.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2015-06-25*

The game is fun but it needs more updates. It's a very difficult game, however after reaching the score 30, there are no more challenges in the game. You just play for fun. I beat it in about 10 minutes. It's an awesome game that works very well, but please make some updates. Try making new challenges and levels!
