HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (67 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Funz

Main line some nostalgia over here

Bad Servers

I hate having to give a low rating to what should be a 5 star review, the only thing bad about the game is the servers being so bad. I can’t really do anything without having to reload the game several times first. If that were to be fixed then this would be a five star, no doubt

★★★★★Aug 24, 2026
Controller support

I love this game so much but it needs controller support
