### 3/5 — Stupid horse derby race

*2016-01-01, version 1.0*

I do enjoy playing this game. It's free so the pop up ads I do put up with. I hate the screens I have to go through all the time when I die buying coins then the help screen then I finally get to play again. I don't buy much to play games. It would be nice to be able to see my actual time on the screen & not just my best time. Putting in some kind of power up to earn more coins would be a nice & something to strive for outside of beating your best time.

### 4/5 — Challenging and fun!

*2015-10-27, version 1.0*

I'm new to this game but so far it's quite challenging and fun. I'll be interested to see what happens next!!

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2015-02-22, version 1.0*

I love this game. I would pay a small fee to avoid all of the other game ads though. It would be nice if the purchasing of coins option were handled differently too. Maybe a button on the main screen instead of a pop up page. I never purchase coins on any game so for me it's just in the way.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

### 5/5 — VERY FUN!

*2014-02-25, version 1.0*

Sometimes you never know what these games are going to be like until you play them.
Some of them get deleted and some of them do not.
This one is one of those that does not get deleted! It is actually fun and it seems to speed up and gets more challenging as the game goes on.
A very fun game and the graphics and sound effects are great too.
