### 3/5 — FIX THIS GAME!

*2026-07-20, version 1.3.4*

### 1/5 — This game is unplayable

*2026-07-03, version 1.3.4*

I purchased this game to have a fun time remembering a childhood classic. However 

The game is unplayable.
The game is split into 8 copies of the game. You can’t zoom in. You can’t do anything.  Tried making a level to see if it would fix the issue. Just made it worse.


I have never been so frustrated with a product. 

I attempted to ask for a refund.

Atari doesn’t even have this game listed on their website.

Used to love this game, came back to it after a few years but now on iPhones it is broken, the UI is split into eight different screens and it’s all out of whack. 31X, Atari, Mr. Sawyer, please fix this. I would like to play this game again.
