*2026-08-10, version 1.2.21*

Is the game abandoned or what? I wanted to try the game but like the other complaints are saying it’s not loading please fix the game because I actually wanted to play it.

### 1/5 — Didn’t load!

*2026-04-02, version 1.2.21*

We would not load it just keep saying no network no network no network. I don’t even think the game would be good even if the game worked fix your Wi-Fi and quit being so cheap.

### 1/5 — Game has been abandoned by developers and doesn’t work

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.21*

Game should be removed from the App Store, useless

### 1/5 — It not loading

*2025-11-18, version 1.2.21*

It refuses to actually load it starts the initial assets download makes it about 25% and then stops

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-08-28, version 1.2.21*

I have re-installed, cleared cache, un-installed, waited for months, re-installed on several different devices. Gets stuck and says I have a network connection error (don't). Why do developers spend so much time making an app with so little interest in support? Past reviews (a few years ago) highly praised the game then about a year ago it just stopped working.

*2025-05-18, version 1.2.21*
