### 4/5 — Would give 5 stars if had English option

*2022-12-24, version 1.3.1*

Can’t understand anything because it’s all written in Chinese, fun to play though

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-04-20, version 1.3.1*

Like Pac Man but more enemies and projectiles instead of a maze. Cool idea. I like the boss killing mode where you have to dodge until you find a power up to fight with. Could easily make this a good shared screen cooperative game.
