Also, it came across this one day where I was trying to play the game and it kept on saying authentic error so just like ok I’ll just press the OK button and then it showed it again and then I was just like OK I’ll just leave the game and clear my tabs and go back into the game. I’ve tried that several times. I’ve been trying it for weeks and months. It just keeps on saying authentic error and the game does crash sometimes but for me it’s very rare but I would just like the person to just fix these and like I was saying about the authentic error, I actually made a lot of good friends and I do miss them but this game like just I don’t know if I got banned or something and please developer read this and I know you might not read this because I think you abandoned the game well that’s what most people think but nobody sure if you actually abandon the game and there’s been a lot of rumors about stuff that like some things been like going on like I don’t know and anyway sorry for the hella long paragraph lol ### 5/5 — 服务器炸了 *2026-08-30, version 1.6* 秘密邻居我在里面充钱了快点修复进不去游戏的问题😠😠😡😡🤬🤬 ### 5/5 — Pls help so I can join *2026-08-30, version 1.6* When I join the game it’s not letting me play it saids error so pls can you update it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-09-05, version 1.6* This game doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Glitching *2026-09-05, version 1.6* it’s not working it’s keeps saying authorization error please fix it so I can play it ### 1/5 — No game *2026-09-05, version 1.6* All it says it authentication error nothing else once hitting ok it just shows the same message again ### 1/5 — Won’t let me login *2026-09-03, version 1.6* Won’t let me login and it is a 9+ game and it is not fair that I can’t log in ### 1/5 — Right now ! 😡 *2026-09-03, version 1.6* This game doesn’t even long me in one star view ### 1/5 — Why can’t I go into the game on mobile *2026-09-02, version 1.6* The game is bugged or shut down for mobile cause I can not go in but the game is peak please fix it ### 1/5 — Fix this *2026-08-30, version 1.6* Tell me why it says authentical error ### 1/5 — I got rid of it before now.

Please fix this. ### 5/5 — I'm sorry.: ( *2026-08-31, version 1.6* I love this game so much and the animation is awesome. I'm so sorry about the hacker by the way I just found out what was glitching my game. You guys and girls are such baddies and I know you can recover everything. (I used Google A.I. to figure out what had occurred 'cause the last few days it kept saying "authentication error" whenever I tried to log into the game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
