### 1/5 — Crashing

*2021-01-28, version 0.24.04*

I really enjoyed the game when it is working. But was really laggy and kept crashing on me. But the probables with it crashing is it would freeze up my phone and I had to turn it off and back on. I enjoyed it so much I did go through this ordeal about 6-8 times. But finally I have decided to delete. Can’t be having my phone freeze up like that. 

If the devs ever fix this issue I would download again 100% though!

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2020-01-05, version 0.24.04*

Good concept to help understand the bigger picture

### 1/5 — Can’t get the rate me thing to leave

*2019-12-27, version 0.24.04*

Game is fun. Helps pass the time. Major down side is the rate me thing will pop up AND NOT GO AWAY!!!! Makes it so you can not click anything else basically forcing you to rate the game.  Even then it won’t go away. Deleted and won’t download again.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2019-11-16, version 0.24.04*

I thoroughly enjoy the game and look forward to future updates!

### 5/5 — Highbrow

*2019-11-15, version 0.24.04*

Good

### 1/5 — Game Could Be Much Better With One Minor Tweak

*2019-10-13, version 0.24.04*

I didn’t even play the game. The font and color scheme for font made it so hard to read the tutorial I just uninstalled the game and wrote a review.

### 4/5 — G

*2019-10-05, version 0.24.04*

Fun

### 3/5 — Good for a while

*2019-05-30, version 0.24.04*

Not sure if I'm impatient or what, but after retirement it's very slow going. I enjoyed it at first, but it's just not worth the wait for the next retirement.

### 3/5 — It’s alright. It’s fun but few issues

*2019-04-07, version 0.24.04*

Got a few issues and glitches and ad problems

### 3/5 — Good

*2019-02-11, version 0.24.04*

Good
