Good content but not like a game sensation

Question content is good, graphics are wordt and 100q levels are too much for a game. It should have not more than 25q levels and level names related to subjetc names. May add a bit of more fun.

Excellent

Great fun little app to trick me into studying when I don’t want to study, does a good job of focusing on higher yield topics

$$$$ Money Grab!

The game allows you only two levels before you have to pay $30(!!!!) to upgrade. No thanks!

Response from developer

Aaron- This can be easily rectified. Email me at info@scrubwars.com Then you can re-evaluate the app. Vincent Stevenson CEO of Precision Enterprises, LLC

Good stuff

Game has a lot of questions. I wish you could pause and save though because the 100 Q rounds are long for a mobile game.

Lucky to find scrub wars

Its good and helpful affordable too thank you
