### 5/5 — Elite party game

The best fr

### 2/5 — Sounds fun! But can’t play...

*2020-06-19*

This game has faced reproductive crashes from the second I downloaded it! My friends are unable to play the game too. I’m sure this game would be extremely fun if I could play it but the fact that I can’t just ruins the game. This is obviously a huge issue but don’t let it discourage you from trying to see if the game works. As I said this sounds fun but I can’t play it so I wouldn’t know.

### 5/5 — Dope

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-04-06*

This app is terrible and is just completely stupid. It’s not worth the download. Just play regular beer pong, you shouldn’t need to use an app.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you had a bad experience, feel free to email us at planetpongus@gmail.com and let us know what you didn't like.
