### 2/5 — Loved this game, but it won’t stop crashing

*2020-05-11, version 1.0.5*

I was bored the other day and decided to download this game again after not playing for a while. Really love this app, however it keeps crashing every single second. Please fix this ASAP so I can play again.

### 4/5 — I’m very sad, want this fixed😭

*2019-12-29, version 1.0.5*

I got the game and it looked like so much fun but every time I got in the game, started a round, then started, it just glitches me out. I’ve tried so many times but it won’t work. I’ve tried playing a different game for awhile or letting it sit and nothing’s working. Please fix this, I really wanna play the game.

### 5/5 — Upgrade

*2018-06-12, version 1.0.5*

I would like if the creators would add mini games to Pinchworm and upgrade the game add a new obstacle and add more worms to buy. I would like if they would add birds to buy at the shop to go against for different mean comments

### 5/5 — Really addicting

*2018-05-22, version 1.0.5*

This game is fun really addictive and hard.Makes you play more and more and more

### 5/5 — Great game!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐛

*2018-04-16, version 1.0.5*

Pinch worm is a REALLY good game to play if you are bored 😀
I love it a lot and I recommend to get it if you haven’t already!
One thing you could change is that you can change perspective to be able to see what is coming up(rock or flower) but otherwise it is 5 STARS!!!!

### 5/5 — Great game with few problems

*2018-04-02, version 1.0.5*

I love the game all and all, and it is so addicting! If you are thinking about getting it, you should! I do have one problem: sometimes I will try to jump or dig but it won’t go. Other that that it’s fun and great for anything. (It doesn’t require WiFi!)

I also love picking out the characters and their funny attitudes. Along with that the bird’s snarky remarks makes you want to persevere. I think anyone will love it, so you should get it!😃👍🏻😍

Luv this app. It's so cute😍

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!

*2017-07-28, version 1.0.5*

In pinch worm, a little worm is on a quest to recover his love, who was taken by a blackbird. To score points you pinch in to dip under flowers, and pinch out to leap over rocks. When you score twenty, you encounter the bird and the bird insults you as he flies with your dream worm in his beak. My only complaint is that you have to score one hundred to reclaim your love. It's a big number and I think the game would be better if you bumped it down to eighty or so. But overall it's a great, really fun and addicting app for all ages.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

### 5/5 — fun but glitchy

*2017-04-21, version 1.0.5*

I love the game but sometimes, it glitches and gets the wrong move, and that's a problem when you are trying to beat  your high score. But otherwise I love it. the worms are cute and I like how there's no ads except when they offer you coins to get another worm, but this is only once in awhile so giving this game 5 stars 😍😍😀😀🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻

### 5/5 — So simple yet complicated

It lets me start a game, but keeps randomly crashing. Unusable.

### 1/5 — Now spam filled

*2017-01-01, version 1.0.5*

Came back to play this and keep getting directed to online gambling and casino games in the app store. Very disappointing.

Great casual game that's more challenging than you'd expect. It's a lot of fun and the games are quick, so it's perfect for killing a minute here and there.
