    • “Very simple gameplay loop.”
    • “Disgusting lag for such a cute simple game with such an intuitive and silly play mechanic.”

    • “I appreciate how stable the game is; it allows for an uninterrupted experience.”
    • “The minigames are more buggy than the main game, and I ended up not being able to successfully complete any game other than Simon Says.

    • “Some games I download for my niece to play when she's visiting me; this one is too buggy to be good for that.”
