### 5/5 — Good

### 5/5 — Fix

*2023-10-12*

Update this game fix the app icon make it clear  the select room dirty white make it black add flashlight on or off for the kid thanks.

### 3/5 — Great game, could be better.

*2021-07-31, version 1.2.1*

This game is really nice and has a cute art style, but there are some issues. First, the swipe to move doesn’t work well on tablets, and the slingshot can sometimes take multiple taps to actually hit. Which is super annoying when trying to get the target goal times. 

Could really use something like a virtual D-pad or analog stick.

### 3/5 — Average

*2020-10-22*

Clunky controls. Lecel timer doesn’t make sense.

### 2/5 — Ruined by unresponsive controls

*2019-11-19*

This game WOULD have been fun if it weren’t for the touch controls sometimes just not responding and is the sole reason I can’t beat more then half the goal times. All this game needs is controller support and it would fix everything.

### 5/5 — WOW
