### 4/5 — I wished

*2026-06-08, version 1.8.0*

I wish you would put a book that when you create something and you forget how to make it you clicked on the book and find out or put a button that tells you hints so it is a little bit easier to play otherwise I’ll give you a 5/5 review.

### 1/5 — none of the options in setting work

### 4/5 — Please read

*2026-01-20*

Whenever I try to change setting my game freezes and won’t let me play or interact with the screen and even when I reset the app it still won’t let me change the settings

### 5/5 — I love this game I’ve been loving it since 2020.

*2026-01-06, version 1.8.0*

I’ll make this short so no one complains, I loved this game it gets you to use your brain a lot and think I think this was very viral around 2020-2021 and I loved it so much I go off and on on this game though. I download it then I love it then I stop then I keep it on my device then I delete it again then repeat. I love this game but I get bored easily. This time I have a challenge for me I will come back and update by next month on Feb 6th, 2026 and tell you if I’m still playing or not. I love this game highly recommended but I think you will get bored less than an hour.
