### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-26, version 2.11.0*

Amazing game

### 1/5 — Great game but….

*2026-08-24, version 2.11.0*

It doesn’t carry over your coins so you work hard to complete a level only to start the next stop on the map with nothing. If you don’t have enough coins to play a level it advises “you need x amount of coins to play this level”. How can I get coins when I can’t play levels?! Just let the coins roll over to each level!!

when ever i’m playing there’s a bug where u can press other game-modes n it takes you out of the game mode your playing and disrupts you otherwise i love this game and its very addictive

### 2/5 — Fun but glitchy

*2026-08-11, version 2.11.0*

I really enjoy this game but the last two days it keeps freezing half way through games and I have to close the app to reset it. The main games are fine, it's glitching on the 4 day event games. I haven't been able to complete a game and it's super frustrating to lose progress mid game.
