I love this game!!!

Even though it's free now it was definitly worth $0.99!!! My fav game!!!!

***update: 7 years later and I still think this is an amazing game.

*** update: 15+ years later and I STILL remember this game. I appreciate Donut Games so much for being one of few devs that just sell the game and don’t add in-game purchases or ads. I will continue to play until I can no longer use my hands!
