So happy it’s back

Hello! I’m so glad save the pencil is back, however I must let you know that some of the levels are bugging out, even when I complete some levels it says that I failed, I think especially the teleports need fixing because I teleported and for some reason it says that a staple caught me and I failed, there’s still a long way to go, THANK YOU!!

IT FINALLY WORKS

I remember playing this as a kid and enjoying the hell out of it. I bought the app again a year ago and it didn't work. Seems it wasn't built for modern iPhones. I was super bummed out. Fast forward to today and I was scrolling through my apps and noticed that this one had a different icon. So, I booted it up and lo and behold it WORKED!!! It's still exactly as fun as I remember it being.
