*2025-07-04*

I bought this game in 2009 as a yahoo game and still remember it to this day. Wish they'd update the game and it for iOS so my younger kids can play it. It's an excellent game. Sometimes things are great without all the bells and whistles.

### 1/5 — Won’t download to my new iPad nor my new iPhone.

*2022-05-29*

This game is cute. I’ve had it for years. When I got iPhone 12 it wouldn’t download and still doesn’t. I had to get new iPad and now it won’t download to it either. It says the developer needs to update to be compatible with my iOS version. I literally had to get a new iPhone because so many apps were no longer being supported. Now this won’t even install. Im really getting tired of these rip off scams.
