What real reviews say

★ Literally won’t even launch correctly The game crashes 100% of the time upon selecting new game, then yes or no when asked if you want to take the tutorial. After it crashes, it then won’t even make it the main menu when opening again no matter what is done. Didn’t even get a chance to play enough to actually see any gameplay.

★ 09/18/2026 I bought this game YEARS ago. It is a great game but for some reason now I can download the game but as soon as the game starts it shuts the game. Trying to load the app immediately closes it out. It’s sad what developers can do now’n days. I am tired of paying for things that I can not use

★ Do not buy - does not work The game crashes immediately after launch no matter what. They either need to update this app or take it down, they must only keep it up to scam the few people that try to buy and play it. Unfortunate as this game and many of their other games were favorites of mine as a kid. Don’t waste your dollar
