### 2/5 — Simple trick ends the challenge

*2017-07-29, version 1.8.4*

This game is a delight to engage, but then you do nothing and you go no where. When you decide not to pick up the polygon, it's simplifies the game. No benefit to the power up, just gives you more obstacles. I went further just sticking to the hopping. If that's all there is then well, 3 minutes was enough to debunk the game. Thank you. I'll give 2 stars for the effort but these games are a dime a dozen. If the challenge is distance then, I'm no interested.

### 4/5 — Funky

*2017-06-29, version 1.8.4*

I love the game, it's artsy and really fun to play and I love the music. But the only thing I don't like is how there is no instructions or how to in the game. The only part that is difficult is one you eat the mushroom and the eye pops up, how do you get over it?

### 4/5 — Cute, fun, trippy

*2017-05-27, version 1.8.4*

Great little game for passing time after a smoke sesh. Took 1 * of off for the trees in the background. Some of them flash like it's a rendering issue, not like a trippy object. If that's by design, it just doesn't seem to fit. Otherwise, love the game.

### 5/5 — Best

*2017-05-11, version 1.8.4*

BEST GAMES IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and when I play this game is feels like I can relax and just drive through the forest :D

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2017-02-20, version 1.8.4*

This is exactly what I want in a mobile game.

### 5/5 — The Music

*2016-09-03, version 1.8.4*

Hi, I love the game, it's so fun to play and very relaxing. I have just one request. Could you possibly make it so that we can choose which toon to play each time we have to start over, keeping the top three tunes though. I've favorited one of the three and for my phone/game it doesn't play it as much as I would like it too, the music is a big help in getting me far in the game. If you could please consider my request I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Outstanding job

*2016-08-28, version 1.8.4*

I love the simplistic yet so amazingly detailed design of the game. It's also very entertaining, and doesn't lag at all on my phone. This app is perfect, and I hope to see more like it.

### 5/5 — I dig it!

*2016-04-23, version 1.8.4*

I dig this game, super simple but lots of fun. I especially like it because I own a vw van and like to picture my own van doing the fun little flips!

### 1/5 — why

*2015-11-24, version 1.8.4*

literally it's impossible to get past the eye when there's like only one button to press????? i don't understand.

### 4/5 — john lennon

*2015-11-17, version 1.8.4*

I love this game, but I wish there was more of a "trip", that'd get you a definite 5 stars from me. (especially if you added really trippy effects)
