### 4/5 — Please fix the ads

*2025-06-14, version 1.1*

This game is amazing and easy to use, however the ads to unlock features just don’t work at all and I’m not the only one apparently and a good addition would be to add an export feature but overall the game is super cool aside from the ads functionality

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-04-17, version 1.1*

It is truly a great game, but one problem, for some reason the restore purchases button won’t work. Although the full game is still worth the price.
