### 5/5 — gg

*2026-08-26, version 1.2.18*

fun game but i do not know how to use the cloud save.

### 5/5 — Addicting!

*2026-08-13, version 1.2.18*

Addictingly fun game, so many paths to win

### 5/5 — Perfect pickup and play game

*2026-07-30, version 1.2.18*

This is a perfect pickup and play game. It’s great on my Mac but even better here since I can play when I’m on the go and have some free time. 

Also very happy to see the addition of cloud saves. Now I can play on any of my devices and continue where I left off.

### 2/5 — 楽しかったけど

*2026-07-12*

起動してもメインメニューに行かず暗転したままアプリが落ちるようになった

### 5/5 — When a symbol get more than 1e100 coins,game will freeze with some language

*2026-07-11*

I make cats getting more than 1e100 coins,then the game freezes with Chinese(both CHS and CHT),it can’t show the numbers of coin on the top  of symbol.

### 4/5 — Needs DLC

*2026-06-26, version 1.2.16*

Beat the game lots of times, it needs more content.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Casual Game

*2026-06-07, version 1.2.16*

No In-App Purchases!!! Perfect blend of genres. Satisfying to master. Quick to beat but really hard to put down.

### 5/5 — hope can make an endless level-based version.

*2026-06-03, version 1.2.16*

The current unlimited play version is too casual. Many times, even when the landlord is dead, I still have plenty of energy left. If I could keep paying higher rents at the same pace, I could see how many levels I could pass!

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2026-04-01, version 1.2.16*

Have I beaten this game more than 25 times? Yes. Are there strategies I still haven’t tried? Yes. Can I stop playing? No. This is one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played.

### 5/5 — A Fave

*2026-03-27, version 1.2.16*

I love this game so much that I have it on my phone and my pc
