This game is so entertaining and when you get to 20:00 it gets really hard but it's so much fun! Thanks for making this game guys! :)

### 2/5 — Free version they should keep it that way

*2020-11-11, version 1.1.6*

Maybe they should add some adverts and keep it free.

Game is easy and cuts out unless you purchase.

Maybe past 6 minutes it would get harder because your concentration with fade and it will get trickier.
