### 5/5 — Thank you developers

*2023-11-26*

Original review:
Thank you for making this game free, so I did not waste my money on it. The gameplay itself, the mechanics, are quite nice and I could see myself enjoying it. Unfortunately it takes forever to load (on iPad Pro) and then EVERY time, I have to sit through that eyesore of an intro that cannot be skipped. When it is finally over, and between levels, I have to endure further painfully slow animations before I finally get to play. Please make it, so I actually get to PLAY the moment I tap the respective button. And spare me the intro at all or make it skippable immediately. I will watch for a while for updates and update rating accordingly. 

Update after developer response and update:
You guys are awesome. Just for listening you deserve 5 stars. And I get to play the game now. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to post your review comment. This is much appreciated. 

We have now released v1.5 to allow players to skip the intro sequence and the gondola ride sequences to and between districts.

In order to release the changes quickly we could, for now, only allow the gondola ride sequence to be skipped once the gondola takes off and begins its journey.

If you have further input you can also provide them to us directly  - https://www.naive-studios.com/contact.

All the best /the team at naïve studios
