What Users Love
Awesome game
Really fun game to let the time fly by
Pain Points
I used to play this game everyday faithfully and got so far just for it to be downgraded to the junk it is now.
This game used to be a master piece... Now it’s been changed to seem more appealing to the kids of today.
Keeps turning off in the middle of playing.
The game will hard lock my tablet randomly.
