### 5/5 — Top 5 Games of All Time

*2026-05-17, version 1.0.2*

Genuinely perfect. Super simple, and super good. I wish there was an endless mode, but other than that, this game is amazing.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-05-02, version 1.0.2*

Please give me colors for free. I’m broke.

### 5/5 — Pip-ular

*2023-08-02, version 1.0.2*

Pretty pip-tastic

### 5/5 — To many compliments!

*2023-06-11, version 1.0.2*

Why do I love this game?

Simplicity: This game is so simple, I don’t know how this is so fun but it is. 

Style: I love the retro theme and how it makes it look like a Fallout Pip-Boy. 

Price: Its an awesome game and it’s free! I don’t need to pay because I like the default color scheme. 

Ads: (there are none) 

Basically the game where you use a stick to dodge balls is better then tons of games I’ve seen. Perfect.

### 5/5 — Completed the game

*2023-05-11, version 1.0.2*

It’s hard at first but you’ll get used to it and you’ll get muscle memory from this, spinning is really smooth and satisfying which made me play the game more. Still gonna keep this game, very fun.

### 5/5 — 5 out of 5!

*2022-05-23, version 1.0.2*

I can’t say enough good things about this game! It brings “retro” to a new level. It even looks like the lines on an old cathode ray screen! This isn’t PAC Man retro, it’s more like the late 70s era of Sea Wolf or Night Driver. 
You spin the line to avoid the circles. If you make a mistake, Bam! You lose. Brutal! 
If you win, a little robot cheers for you, then on to the next level.

And that’s it! I hope there’s more games like this out there! 

And that’s it! The sound effects are as primitive as it gets. 

And no intrusive ads!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-10-15, version 1.0.2*

Very well put together! Has an old school feel with the pup boy. Very addicting to try and progress. I love this game.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2021-10-07, version 1.0.2*

This game is very good. It’s either really hard or I’m really bad. I would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Pls read pls

*2020-10-22, version 1.0.2*

Ok so there might be a chance of the devs reading this so like awesome game to pass sometime but you guys or whoever you are should make more fallout based games cause it kinda cool you know like the old effects and kinda feel like a pip boy so yea that’s all I got to say.

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.2*

Really great game to pass the time with. Becomes addicting quickly!
