Update and ages☺️

This game should be for all ages. I know this little word but I just turned 11 a few months ago, but I still play this game. It’s really fun but to me it just could use some more. I don’t know stuff to do for ages. I appreciate the fact that it has no adswhich is good for a lot of reasons. I hope you had more stuff. I would actually do 4 1/2, but three is close enough for this rating.

Great app, but not all games work

My five year old loves this game, but constantly tries to play the “slide-a-mazoo” mini game, which will not work - it just brings you to a permanent loading screen. He loves the other games, but it makes him sad that he can’t play this one!
