- “The advertisement I got when playing another game showed a prisoner leveling up to a king level 30 in an open world, so the game is obviously nothing like this. It still looks good, but I'm deleting it; it's not my style of game. It has bad graphics and I'm stuck at one view, birds-eye view/sky view. I prefer open world.”
- “I really liked this game; it's awesome, but I don't like the graphics of the fights. It was supposed to be in 3D graphics. It would be great if you could just make the fighting graphics 3D.”

You have the ability to create an amazing video game that is understandable, complex, elegant, and new. These apps are all copycats; none have any original content ideas or layout/storyline or concept of getting better, so your gamers stay hooked and want to keep playing. I'm so disappointed and annoyed with the same games.”
- “Best game I ever seen; this is an awesome game, but it lacks a lengthy game story. Please lengthen that.”
