Ratings and reviews

Enjoyed the game until I got to the first scene and had to find the colorful bangles and they were nowhere to be found and there's no clue to help. Just being told you failed! Not great for children. How about "ran out of time" or "try again"? Anyway seemed like a great game besides that. Also it'd be great if you could choose different avatars to be the main character.

Seemed cute when i saw the adds. There are many improvements that need to be made. One being the graphics. For this kind of game the graphics need to be more realistic. The graphics look like some of the fan fictions I read on yt when the author doesn't know how to edit or use proper software when making the video. The other thing is spelling. I don't know if it is just me being from the U.S but I always spell dr as doctor.

This game is nice but needs serious improvement By the way those looking for the colourful bangles it's on the lamp next the energy Drink. Anyways like I said it needs serious improvement everytime I finish chapter 1 it won't continue I literally tought doing the chapter twice will take me to next but just trash. Stay input stop being lazy and finish developing the frickkn game
