literally the most calm, fun game i’ve played in so long. if you need something to do to chill, this is it

### 1/5 — Ads are annoying. Pop out when playing.

*2019-12-22, version 1.0*

Ads are understandable. BUT DURING GAMEPLAY. Okay. Not cool lol. It happens while you’re playing and this game requires timing and perfection or redo.

### 1/5 — VIRUS?

*2018-08-15, version 1.0*

I deleted the game but then it says that I still had it and no matter what I try it won’t go away! I checked the App Store and it said I still had it but when I click open it does nothing! FIX! THIS! NOW! PLEASEEE

### 5/5 — Well I’ve had this game for two years and nothing has happened to me.

*2018-07-27, version 1.0*

It’s a great game I love how there is a little bit of music after each level but the music gets better after each level.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2018-05-24*

Really elegant design and relaxing soundtrack. It's similar to my all-time favourite Break Liner - if you like this game and the counting-up level style you should definitely go check it out!

### 1/5 — Weird Virus/Glitch?

*2018-03-10, version 1.0*

*(Note I am calling the glitch/ virus, that this app had put on my phone, a virus in the paragraph!)* 
Having this app on my phone had gave me a virus on my phone. I was not able to do much on my phone because the virus kept moving me to a notification/updates page. The only way to get onto apps was to ask Siri (virtual assistant) to bring me to an app. The game also did not show up in settings, which gave me the idea that it was a virus. Eventually, I managed to delete the app by holding down on some app while the virus brought me to the notification/update page. That triggered the deleting button on each app, then with another swipe I was able to delete. As I expected the virus did not go away, so I shut down my phone for an hour. I came back to my phone showing that it was at one percent. Luckily the virus seemed to be gone. This app seemed fun when I was playing it at first, but the virus did not sell it for me. In conclusion, I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else but it did for me and I am not going to recommend an app that had put a glitch on my phone to others. Thank you for your time of which you were reading my review!
