### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2017-04-26, version 1.1.3*

A lot of fun to play

### 3/5 — too many ads！

*2016-02-27, version 1.1.1*

这个游戏很有趣，不需要太多操作，是个轻松的游戏。然而，广告多到影响心情！底下飘着广告就算了，时不时还在你玩的时候弹出广告…我宁愿花钱买个无广告版（0.99刀足矣）。

### 2/5 — Kicks me out

*2015-10-30, version 1.1.1*

It's fun, but it keeps kicking me out in the middle of the round.
