Good app really remand pls play

### 5/5 — I wish

*2026-06-22, version 1.1*

I am a big ghost buster fan and I thought this game is pretty cool. i’ve been a ghost buster fan ever since I was 5 and I bought the real life, Proton Pack with trap and PKE meter, and read what I think wish this game could have it to where you can drive the ecto 1 and you cane get to the stay puffed marshmallow man it would be great to beat him it will make me so proud and where I can get to the library ghost 👻 It would be a blast if they did all that

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2026-06-03, version 1.1*

As a ghostbuster fan (since the age of 4!), I love this game. It can get repetitive, but bustin ghosts can NEVER get old (even if it’s 40 years old). I was so sad when the App Store said “that’s not a thing!” When I tried playing it! I’m so happy they brought it back!

Tip: can you add ecto goggles in the character customization? Thanks!

### 5/5 — It’s the best day ever when you download this game!

*2025-05-03, version 1.1*

I loved the game so much why I just got it yesterday but I already love it! If your a fan of LEGO or playmobil and ghostbusters then you’ll love this as much as I do! My inspiration to get the game? Getting a “the real ghostbusters “ dvd.

### 5/5 — Skip intro please

*2025-02-09, version 1.1*

The game is amazing but it would be nice if you could skip the intro

### 3/5 — My

*2025-02-02, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Lost media

*2025-01-20, version 1.1*

Lost media

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-12-22, version 1.1*

The first time I got this it was amazing 🤩 but it wouldn’t let me get anywhere other then the fire house but I still got over it and I still recommend this game and the ghosts aren’t even close to being realistic so I think you should get this game.😉
