### 1/5 — Multiplayer doesn’t work

*2026-04-12*

Tried this game and was a waste. Looked cool but half of the features do not work. Don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Для слабых телефонов самое то!

Крутая игра

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-06-03*

Very fun to play, happy there is such game on mobile. Easy to pick up yet still challenging. 
 I have sensitive eyes and I wish there was an option to change background color because the objects contrast strongly with the black background. (maybe gray or bluish-black color would be better)
 Still, I like this game very much!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review :-)

Regarding changing the background color, there is such a setting though admittedly it's not easy to find.
The path to get to the setting is: Settings > Graphics > Background Hue

Although this game is very good, please tell me why. If the developer can't give me a reasonable explanation, I can't do anything.
