### 1/5 — 點解唔係加強版

*2022-09-03, version 1.02*

無update 過又唔係加強版點解仲要收錢?
買左先知原來同試玩嘅唔一樣😡

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2021-07-18, version 1.02*

攻擊100被打1000 電腦瘋狂開掛 玩屁呀
已經買貴公司的遊戲好幾個了
以後不會在支持貴公司出產的任何產品

### 1/5 — 걍 쓰레기 게임

*2021-06-07*

경영의 의미가 너무 없음
미니게임이여야 하는 대전 격투가 너무 메인으로 와버림. 
스트리트 파이터2가 비디오 게임에서 가지는 의미는 알지만, 굳이 그걸 제한된 컨트롤로 재현할 필요가 있을까. 완벽한 실패작.

### 3/5 — Boring

*2021-04-28*

Not much to do in this game as there are rarely any new arcade games to buy after the initial few. What gives?

### 5/5 — Love

*2019-12-15*

This is another incredible game

### 5/5 — 加強版？

*2019-06-03, version 1.02*

為什麼另外開了個加強版，但是這個遊戲卻沒有升級？

### 4/5 — I am giving 4*’s because...

*2019-04-19*

I had played the tester of this game and it is nothing like the purchased one... why can I not put things wherever I want like in the tester game? In the purchased one here I can only put things in the 8 spots given instead of the whole store floor... have only played for like a minute and this is the 1st thing I noticed which makes it much different then the free version...

### 5/5 — Tout bon

*2019-01-25, version 1.02*

Passionnant et addictif, les tournois sont fun 😀

### 5/5 — ร้านเกมส์ สนุก

*2018-10-16, version 1.02*

รอภาษาไทยอยู่นะคะ

### 1/5 — 한글화 안되있어요
