### 4/5 — that’s annoying

*2026-07-25, version 3.3*

hey everyone, if tom keeps switching you to the sponsored screen out of nowhere, just turn off your internet and wi-fi. that disables all the ads completely. at least it works for me!

### 5/5 — 2012年から遊んでいます✨

*2026-07-21*

当時は比較的珍しい横画面スタイルのゲーム。アプリ自体の変化も余り無いが、定期的に更新が続いているのは、恐らく新機種のパッチ合わせ。長期アプリとして今後もずっと続いて欲しい🙏

### 4/5 — Minha opinião

*2026-07-20*

Eu gostei desse jogo por que trás uma ideia de você criar e imaginar e colocar sua criatividade em dia com diversão e piadas do cotidiano e eu pensei que jogo legal enfim ,as únicas coisas que eu não dei um 5/5 foi o gráfico do jogo que não tem como mudar por que é um jogo antigo e a outfit7 prefere fazer jogos novos com gráficos do século 21 essa foi minha opinião tirando esse ponto negativo o jogo é perfeito 🙌🏻
