### 5/5 — THE REALLY STUBBORN GAME

*2022-04-04, version 3.3*

I literally waited all lunch and it was still loading.

### 5/5 — Help

*2021-07-24, version 3.3*

I agree with the other guy fix it

### 5/5 — Great game but has some glitches and connection issues.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

### 5/5 — Hey!

*2021-01-16, version 3.3*

The game is broken because we are all stuck on the title screen forever! Please fix this :(

### 5/5 — Needing to grow

*2020-12-21, version 3.3*

You should not have to grow your plants to get them it just makes the game harder but other than that it’s a great game

### 5/5 — Cool plants vs zombies game with a very cool twist

*2020-08-10, version 3.3*

This game may be a rip-off of Plants vs Zombies, but it’s actually quite addicting. The gimmick of planting your plants and letting them grow is cool, being on both teams of the plants and bugs, ect. The only problems I have with this game is the loading takes too long to sometimes, it’s kind of buggy and it is quite grindy. Overall its a pretty good game and you should add more plants and bugs and stuff.

It’s cool, I like it 😁👍

### 5/5 — It’s a good game but could use some work

*2020-07-18, version 3.3*

I love the game graphics and the names.  I don’t like that it’s so hard to get stars this early one.  I think the developers should make it to were you can easily get stars.  I also want to ad that the developers should make it to were each level you complete you get a new character and a slot to put it in.  That’s all I’d like say.

### 5/5 — This is a good game, make a sequel

*2020-06-02, version 3.3*

So, this is a good game(as the title established) but this is on the App Store way too long to be ever relevant, you should release a sequel with better execution and more plants/bugs

Edit: also, fix the glitches and crashes

### 5/5 — Plants vs zombies👎

*2015-06-14, version 2.2.0*

This game is way better than pvz

### 5/5 — GOOD GAME

*2015-04-15, version 2.2.0*

It's like pvz but except zombies their bugs and when you play against other players you are Both what I'm trying to say it's worth it
