### 4/5 — Not bad

*2017-09-25, version 1.35*

I really like this game. It’s a good one considering it’s one of the only AR apps/games that are compatible with my iPod. My only concern is about the printable/downloadable mat. When I tap the link, it says “page forbidden”. I have tried many ways to find the mat pdf, but I cannot find it anywhere. Please fix this or include a pic of the mat in the app that I can save and print, so I can “have the full experience.”😂
