### 5/5 — Hi

*2024-01-03, version 1.30*

Masterpiece is how to describe

### 5/5 — I love sandbox!

*2023-08-31, version 1.30*

This sandbox is cool!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-12-02*

I was trying to erase everything and it kept say buy more sand

### 1/5 — Dumb 1/10

*2021-11-27*

You have to pay to get stuff dumb this should never of been made

### 1/5 — I hate the time limit

*2021-11-18*

You have to PAY to get sand and I hate that😫😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠😡🤬

### 2/5 — The sand

*2021-02-06*

I couldn’t even play more than two minutes before I ran outa sand I hate it

### 1/5 — Problem.

*2020-12-10*

The problem is I HATE the limits for sand and it’s dumb. I recommend to REMOVE the feature. This is why some people hate this game.

### 2/5 — Limited sand is bad

*2020-09-24*

Has the ability to be good, but I couldn’t even try the game before I ran out of sand. It seems like a very small game, so using $5 on unlimited sand or watching an add every five minutes to get more sand is not good. This is supposed to be a simulation game I thought, not some stupid way to take your money and/or make you watch adds. Recommend not getting the game as you can’t really do anything with it.

### 1/5 — I’m going to tell it like it is.

*2020-09-19*

There shouldn’t be “sand limitations”. That’s ridiculous. It’s basically a demo of a five dollar app. On another note, add more elements, it might get boring to some people after playing with very little to work with.

### 4/5 — Super fun, but a problem

*2020-09-14*

I really like this game but there is a problem, the limitations. Idk why it’s there but it’s pretty annoying, and that’s all!
