### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2021-11-10, version 3.3.8*

Love the game played this game a long time ago

### 5/5 — This game is the best!

*2018-03-08, version 3.3.8*

This game is truly a neat game, but one thing. The age rating is 4+ even though there are some forms of blood which might give a kid nightmare! Meh, but to make it more 'Kid Friendly' you should switch it to 'Ez pie (No Rocks' it should eliminate some form of blood and what not. But again, this is the best game ever! 5 stars deserved!
