### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-27, version 1.5.12*

Best game I have!

### 5/5 — An old but gold game with an unfortunate sound bug.

*2026-05-24, version 1.5.12*

I played and loved this game since my childhood, but there seems to be a sound bug relating to game center. Upon starting the game, the music and sound will play for a couple of seconds before cutting out when the game center notification bubble pops up. This will put the game in an inescapable silence with no solution. I have tried resetting my device and disabling game Center to no avail. This is unfortunate as I along with probably many are nostalgic to the soundtrack. To Atypical, please fix this as the game holds a special place.

### 5/5 — Infinite Battles from WWII
