Touch the screen very lightly and pop the zits quickly. It says to do it slowly but that didn't work at all. When I started doing it quickly it works great now

### 1/5 — Pimple Pooper

This game is COMPLETELY stupid! Please, take my advice, I AM a gamer, and this has got to be one of the WORST games I've EVER seen!

Get it! But try the lite version first!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2012-01-30, version version 7.0*

This game is horrible.  I played this game for 5 minutes and then promptly deleted it.  Total waste of two bucks.

### 1/5 — Grrr

I'm going to write a complaint as I got this game and it wouldn't even open I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!! Minus thousand stars if I could :-( !!!!

### 1/5 — Waste Your Money Here!

*2012-01-25, version version 7.0*

An interesting concept that is poorly executed. Lame graphics and broken controls make this app a total dud.

### 4/5 — It's Pretty Chill

*2012-01-24, version version 7.0*

ALL THE SISSYS: PAY ATTENTION!! 
This is a Pimple. Popping. Game. 
What the hell do you think it is going to be? Especially the guy and/or girl who said 'the scabs look nasty' For real? Look at the TITLE. Read the description, try the LITE VERSION FIRST then buy the full version without complaining about how the scabs look and who would make this game 'cause FYI everyone knows you have to buy an app before you rate it so don't waste $1.99 just to b*tch about who'd make this kind of game.

### 1/5 — Pimple popper

Horribly Stupid Game. Not worth the money. I want my money back you can have the game back.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2012-01-14*

I paid $1.99 for this garbage and it crashes every single time I open it. I only rated one star because I it made me. I can't even rate it on game play because I've never gotten past a 3 second black screen. I'm mad I wasted $1.99!

### 1/5 — Xx

*2012-01-11, version version 7.0*
