### 1/5 — To many ads!

*2021-01-22, version 1.51*

It’s a fun game but you have about a 1 minute of playtime before an add pops up. It’s really hard to play the game with so many ads.
It’s not fun when there’s ads every 2 seconds. Please if you can lower the amount of adds.

### 1/5 — Wth

*2020-09-14, version 1.51*

When I seen the picture for this game it looked good but when I played it it only had around 6 options and when something goes offscreen why does it come back from the top can the creator put more effort to this I wouldn’t play this game again
