Ratings and reviews

It still needs a lot of work, very glitchy beware once you start the game you cannot reset progress or make a new account, you cannot skip (without loss) or pause the long tutorial at the start and come back to play it. There is no written instructions where you can purely just read how the game works. Game will freeze a fair bit. Could be fun once you get it working, but I feel the UI is a bit messy and, can be quite slow. The password login screen kinda sucks too.

This game is riddled with issues that make such a frustrating user experience it's nigh impossible to play. Games will freeze randomly, the only solution being to restart the app, except that counts as a loss so you lose rank points. Sometimes the game will infinitely load a match, and never put you in again forcing a restart. This is just from a technical standpoint, not even touching the myriad of QOL improvements that need to be made or the awful currency system. Genuinely don't recommend atm

Update: somehow the update made it worse. The game doesnt even start most the time. But I cant give less than my orignal 1 star. The game is great. The performance in abysmal, often unplayable. I dont care about fancy graphics and features, just produce an app that works - ive had to concede more games than i have completed soley due to the application getting it wrong or hanging indefinelty. Fix the game to be playable, surely that should be the first consideration.
