### 5/5 — Epic

This game has really cute environments and models and the UI is done in a friendly and professional way. Good job Tony!

### 5/5 — Good game

### 5/5 — Best 10 seconds of my life

*2018-11-28, version 1.1.0*

Get Waynesaw!!

### 5/5 — Fun & Addictive

*2018-11-23, version 1.1.0*

So far I’ve been having a ton of fun playing this game that was made by the famous YouTuber “Dorkly”. I mean the man and his team did an exceptionally well job on the graphics and all, but I feel like they’re still a few things missing thought that might give it a little boost in popularity...not to mention the lack of data retrieval if you somehow lose your phone or progress in the game.

### 4/5 — Great game, but what just happened ?

*2018-11-07, version 1.1.0*

I don’t want anyone to judge this game based on my review; honestly, I would say 5 stars, but there’s a couple of problems that I’ve had with the game:
1. The Upgrade-to-Nut/Costume-to-Coin rates are kind of rough, meaning you’ll have to play a LOT to unlock things. This wouldn’t be so bad normally, but you HAVE to unlock costumes and upgrades to progress through the story.
2. I had an incident recently where I was on the App Store and a pop-up to sign in and confirm my card info appeared. Not thinking that hard about it, I entered my Security Code. An hour later, I discovered funds missing from my checking account; the deduction was labeled as an Apple Store purchase. When I looked into it, I realized that Waynesaw had charged me money without any prompt besides what looked like an update window. Keep in mind, I did not tap on the option to purchase in-game currency; in fact, the game wasn’t even running. I think it was simply my phone experiencing some kind of glitch.

Other than that, this game is awesome. Thank you, Based Helpful Tony.

### 5/5 — Team wholesome

*2018-09-21, version 1.1.0*

Waynesaw belongs in smash!!!

### 5/5 — Wayne Saw cured my alysidoprionophobia

*2018-09-04, version 1.1.0*

Before Wayne, I couldn’t look at a chainsaw without breaking down into fits of scream-weeping. Now, thanks to the friendly protagonist of this game, I can walk through a Farm and Fleet without a care in the world! Chainsaws are friends, not fiends.

### 5/5 — Im here from Drawfee

It’s a good game

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2018-06-10, version 1.1.0*
