### 1/5 — Doesn’t Even Play

*2023-02-18*

Seeing the low ratings, I decided to try it anyway.  Just a buck, right?  I kinda want the 99cents back.  Had me create some kind of profile, and once I got to New Game, the app just shut down.  Tried Level Select, same thing.  Only things that work were Leaderboards and Options.  So, yeah, bit of a scam for a buck, if you ask me.

### 1/5 — Sourly Disappointed

*2023-01-05, version 1.0.2*

I wish I could play. I downloaded this app nearly a year ago and it crashes won’t even launch. I hope you guys work it out. This’ll be a great mobile app if you do

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2022-12-27, version 1.0.2*

Tried to play on my IPhone and iPad and the game crashes immediately upon starting every single time. I haven’t been able to play even once.

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2022-12-25, version 1.0.2*

Was excited to find this, even risking the bugs. This will not open. It crashes right away.

### 1/5 — Crash crash and crash

*2022-12-13, version 1.0.2*

Don’t spend money on this game. I know it’s only 0.99 but trying to open it on iPhone it crashes every time. I’ve deleted and reinstalled twice and it don’t work at all. On iPad it goes to the main screen but when you click new game it crashes.

### 1/5 — Does not work at all

*2022-09-29, version 1.0.2*

This game does not work. It will not even load to a menu. I’m guessing it hasn’t been updated for anything past iOS 12.

### 1/5 — Not able to play

*2022-09-10, version 1.0.2*

I loved playing this game growing up. When I found out I could play it on a mobile device I was in awe but it switched to anger for every time it kept knocking me out when I went to load it up to play.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2022-06-17, version 1.0.2*

I have never written a bad review before. But when I found this game I was so excited. I paid the $0.99 to buy the game. I didn’t read the reviews or look at the rating like I normally do. If I had I probably wouldn’t have paid for this yes it was only a dollar  , but still. The game won’t even load. It closes as soon as you try to load the game. I would like the game fix or my dollar back. Hope this helps the next person not to waste their money. I am very disappointed. I played a game like this when I was younger. So I was so excited. But just a waste of money and time. So so disappointed 😏🤬

### 1/5 — Don’t buy.

*2022-05-19, version 1.0.2*

Don’t waste your time. I bought this game and it won’t work. Every time you click on it it acts like it is going to open and let you play; however, it bring you right back to your phone’s main screen.

### 1/5 — Auto crash cannot play

*2022-04-23, version 1.0.2*

Just downloaded as I was a fan of the old game. I launch the app and it it auto crashes when hitting new game or level select.
iPhone 11 iOS 15
