Don't buy this app – Entertainment Game Review

It’s rated 12+ and currently has 126+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Don't buy this app Stand Out
HELLO! I am going to tell you all you need to know about this app.
There's a part of it that is a lot like the game "breakout" except that it has a picture of Ryan Gosling in it that you can hit with a flying baby!!! It has trivia where you can win tube socks or the continent of Europe, there is a part with a platypus and noses, and Reykjavik is featured, and also there's a donkey and Bob Ross and ancient Egyptian sculpture that will teach you a useful phrase in Dutch, and you can also read the third chapter of Beowulf but with more references to well-known screen star Abe Vigoda. Also you get a pug or a pony or a falcon or a banana when you tap pretty much anywhere! And a ninja will teach you some French!
The whole app is freeeeeeeee!!!! So you don't HAVE to buy it! You can just get it!!! If someone tells you you have to buy it they are a big liar!! But if you want ponies on your main screen, you'll have to buy those. So unless you want ponies, you should probably save your money for a pair of tube socks, or maybe a candied yam? Although on the other hand, this app features the Magical Unicorn Bonus™ and is even better with ponies, and there aren't any tube socks or candied yams or regular yams or other apps that have the Magical Unicorn Bonus™ so if you like the app AND want ponies in it, it's kind of a hard decision!! You should probably ask your mom or a favorite pet fish or the Vice President or my mom or a taco. Or flip a coin! But be careful not to hit your eyeball!! With the coin! Actually coins are pretty dangerous so just get rid of your coins.

WARNING: This app contains a hamburger singing "La Spagnola". If you can't handle that, you should stop reading this description immediately.
ANOTHER WARNING: It's really quite mean to call people names. So please tell Albert you're sorry!

YOU SHOULD KNOW that the app preview features the photograph "Mists and Magic" by Priyambada Nath. And now you do know that! And some music called "Borneo" by Keshko. In addition, and completely coincidentally, the screen shots include the photograph "Silky Sifaka" by Jeff Gibbs, and "Farmland of the A165" by J. Thomas. You should tell all your friends because you are a very thoughtful person!!!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
The app is now free! However… Ponies will cost you (unless you already bought the paid version of the app). Also, added a new part that's sort of like "Breakout" but with a baby that you bounce off a hotdog, because who doesn't want to bounce a baby off a hotdog?
Oh, and added a few additional bits of weirdness here and there.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Dear creator: This is utterly perplexing, this app opens a master lock in our brain to unfold dreams in our every night sleeping experiences. Especially babys bouncing off of hot dogs. We enjoy it for the reason it represents our personality. Best regards -TheEightBall Ps: before downloading this app a celestial gold fish was riding on a pbj and told us to the the worm (as usual)after that we transported to a room full of platypus that told us to check our phone the App Store was open to this game (thank the platypus.).
We need updates not that theres literally ANYTHING thats not perfect about this,Id just like more options.
A white noise more torturous than silence.
Pretty sure the creators carbon monoxide monitor was broken whilst creating this but that just makes it better <3.
This app has changed our life in a way we could never even describe.
What,this app is goofy ahh save your money.
Perfect in every way. Please waste more time and make another, thank you.
Theres so many layers to it that branch off into other things and we want there to be endless layers.
Because we can listen to BTS while playing this game! And once Im done writing this review, Ill go pretend to date anime boys! Life is da best when you got da best game ever! (da ghost is us mark) we used to cry because of Mr. Jimmie, he stole us life away in a flash of cruelty. We wasnt prepared for what happened. We cried rivers of tears, even our blood would leak in those rivers. We wanted to be dead But now, we just want to sleep with Choi Soobin. K-pop guys, and anime boys, the only thing Ill ever love, besides this game! (LIGHT IT UP LIKE DYNAMITE).
We are a lemur and we can use this app when we saw this on our tv we thought it would be like every other app but its the missing piece of our life.
The story Im about to tell came about moments after downloading this app. This morning when we woke up we put a pinkish/orange bath towel down the back of our shirt and pretended it was our super hero cape. Even though it was pinkish/orange we pretended it was BLUE. We pretended it was blue cause thats the color cape our super hero would wear. When we came up with this super hero we wanted to pick something really super original. Because he was wrastling gatorcrocs and wearing a blue cape (cause that's what we pretended it was) we thought gators are in water and our cape is blue like water and we thought there aren't any water super heroes so we are calling him Aquatic-Man, or Aquaman! We haven't decided yet. So it makes sense why he wrastled 2 amphibians in earlier chapters. Snakes and alligators. But this time our fearful leader was attacking a different kind of problem. We pretended all the sugar in our house was cocaine (but dont worry it wasnt cocaine, it was just coffee creamer ), and we pretended our shed was a middle school and we had to stop the cocaine (remember its just sugar we took from our house it wasnt really cocaine, it was just coffee creamer ) from affecting our children. So we ran into the school (which was really just a shed) and we pretended our tooth brush was a sword and we chopped all the bags of cocaine (remember Im just pretending) up and threw them against the walls so that the kids couldnt do it no more! After we scolded the 7 year olds, we threatened the lives of their parents if they ever went near the cocky doo doo powder (thats what we told them the name of it was, that way they would think its gross) again. So with our powers of mass destruction, & our firm talking ability… And 3 years of intense psychological, hypnotic drug rehab the small 7 year olds were for the most part, eventually, kinda, maybe a little bit but not much, barely even noticeably almost better… But not really. Can you imagine what would have become had we not downloaded this app.
Good greetings dear reader!! Onto our story dramatic throat clear so, we were sitting in our house peacefully as one does, talking to our crystals (because we are a witch ) when suddenly our house spontaneously caught on water !! It washed away our house and our crystals into the nearby tornado and we watched as every thing we worked on was destroyed . We were forced to sleep in the streets of Ohio where we befriended every singular raccoon and its mother and fell asleep with them and their raccoon tribe !! When we awoke we were somehow in Hogwarts with twenty three thousand times the amount of crystals we originally had we instantly killed Voldemort and became a God like hero everyone bowed to!! We strongly recommend.
This app ishow do we say thishilarious as heck, we dont know why, its so goddamn beautiful.
Before we got this app, we were living in the trees with our fox friend Jeopardy, (you dont have a fox friend named Jeopardy?) when we went to go get supplies with our fox friend, as you do when youre living in the woods with no human contact, when suddenly, a hunter shot Jeopardy, leaving us alone. Our heart filled with hate, we downloaded this app, and suddenly, all our troubles melted away like butter on a pan. We got up to find Jeopardys ghost haunting our scarf, and suddenly it all made sense. Now we live by ourselves, occasionally talking to our scarf, while using this app.
This game gave our left toe a infectiosnsb. Bejdjdkx.
Ever since our girlfriend left us for the raccoon that lives in our garage, Ive been sustaining ourselves with nothing but peanut butter, until we found this game. This game shall give us all the sustenance we need to survive until we meet our own raccoon.
We were alone again, with only our pet dinosaur for a friend whos name is Steve. Our husband has just left us after having a affair with one of his colleagues named Jenny. All our friends had left us because Steve destroyed there homes and now Im broke because theyre suing us for the damage. Now Im homeless on the street when Steve says Buddy its time you knew, dinosaurs are extinct. And then he just disappeared with a flash of lightning and a big puff of smoke. Then we somehow got the money to buy a phone and got this app. We found a man who loves us and we bought some stock for dofkdkkcdk computers and made it big. We payed off all we owed our friends and now Im more popular than ever. Im now working Im modeling and its all thanks to this app.
One moment can change a day, one day can change a life and one life can change the world – Buddha.
We are not joking. We are a changed man. We felt like a dead rat that had bean barfed up by a cat and ran over by a semi truck with a over sized load. Now after we got the app we feel great so you should get this app and then you wont feel like a dead rat.but it has a exasperation date it turns into a potato after 37 hrs so use your time wisely.
This is better than us, our bone, EVEN MY MEAT. Im going to show this to our MONSTER under our bed! Buy this game N O W.
Helloe we wOUld likec to saey tihs apph is vrey nioce.
Very good game it called us a drooling idiot but it gives good options.
This app truly touched us…im so thankful we found this app its the only reason im not bored. We now have a job at a sexy beach. Thank you for making this amazing app,im a person and we lived in a small village with our friend. We watched the barbie movies and show and now we live in a Barbie house and we have a backyardegens jeep (r.we.p pablo…) Btw if you like…barbie jeeps then mabe we could be friends. Anyways we recommend this app btw…developer wanna date ur kinda hot.
Ok so we really love this, can we keep it.
We had been drinking the night before ,hammered talking to our puppet friend about how our life was so messed up , we lost our job, our girlfriend cheated on us, and our dog was killed. But despite all that we still had our puppet friend who listened to all our woes! We went home that night sobbing and puking everywhere and when we woke up we had lost another thing dignity and pride as a homosapien… We looked over to our right and to no avail our puppet friend was there sleeping peacefully… Thats what we thought but we were wrong for our puppet friend was DEAD! With us having lost everything we held dear to us we searched the web in order to find some inkling of hope a light of happiness , and then this app appeared in front of our eyes ,calling our name so we tried it out. The next day we woke up we had tons of notifications on our phone job interviews piled up! We went to the interview and to our surprise we got the job!! Not even a week later a promotion and girls swarming us asking ,no begging for our number!! The next thing we knew we were famous paparazzi meet us at our house, red carpets laid in front of us !! We even got to meet the queen of England ! If anything this app helped us in ways no one could imagine before our life was horrible ,terrifying ! But now its all better because we got this app.
We needed a game like this thank you so much.
We recently bought this app and it changed our life our respects to the creator.
We aint ever seen two pretty best friends, its always one of them gotta be ugly.
This game is the most fantastic thing thats ever happened to us, we needed this in our life o our lord its so beautiful how could something so amazing exist wow, our eyeballs are crying so happy why whyyyyy. Thank you for making our life complete here is a full paragraph about pandas: Pandas live in bamboo filled forests and eat it as well. They are an endangered species of animal and need to be protected because they are sweet baby angel. Anyway pandas have white fur with black ears, paws, and circles around their eyes that make them look like they havent slept for 5 weeks and thats so adorable. They are so adorable we love them. Love them too or we will dtr . Bye beautiful human, have a good life. Dont die.. Yet. Also if you are in a midlife crisis we recommend watching mama mia here we go again. Eat your teeth and brush your vegetables goodbye sweet child.
Stop writing cring reviews of this sort of stupid platypus app.
A chair is a piece of furniture with a raised surface supported by legs, commonly used to seat a single person. Chairs are supported most often by four legs and have a back; however, a chair can have three legs or can have a different shape.
We dont know what we just downloaded, but im so glad we did. Truly the work of god. This app and its developers deserve clout. Thank for this masterpiece.
We havent felt more alive in YEARS!!! Our wife left us recently, leaving us in a pit of utter despair. We've just been wandering the streets of London looking for…. Something….anything…. For about two months now. We eventually saved up enough money from guilt tripping strangers and bought a smart phone, hoping it could give us joy. We downloaded app after app, but the deep pit inside of us just grew deeper and deeper, each game and lifestyle app we downloaded seemed to trap a part of our soul inside. Then, as we stood on the precipice of oblivion, about to cast our new phone into the English Channel, we accidentally downloaded this app, and suddenly life just rushed back into us like a big ol' speedball, which we had also just done a couple of. Now, just weeks after getting this app, our life has changed monumentally. We have been knighted by the Queen, and Im not even British!! We're from New Jersey. We're also the second richest person in the U.K. Now if thats not enough to make you download this app, then you are truly lost for good. We hope our story will inspire others to download this app and have their lives be changed like ours. We LOVE YOU.
A complete waste of time Five stars.
We LOVE THIS GAME AND we NEED MORE WEIRD TRIPPY GAMES THAT MAKE ME QUESTION MY LIFE AND HELP ME KEEP ourselves INSANE SOMPLEASE UPDATE OR MAKE MORE GAMES THAT ARE TRIPPY, PSYKEDELIC, STRANGE , MEME FILLED , AND/ OR REALITY BENDING PLZ.
This app changed our whole career.
We love it. We have learned so much. We sent it to our dad and we quote him : What the heck is this thing? Great game. Great game. Edgar Allen Poe would be proud! (Emily Bronte would hate it though).
Mix the nostalgia of 90s Internet, Mix in from inspiration Monty Python and A dash of adult swim and you have the genius which is…Dont buy this app! The live child of the forbidden zone and a point and click Game! PS Buy the ponies…It will make you happy.
It does exactly what its supposed to do and (spoiler alert) it has a special appearance by the Fonz. Download it.
There are no words to describe how much we changed our life with this game. Our boyfriend hates us and we wake up at 3:00 am to get ready for school. Now we got married to the singing burger and had a baby alien. The memes are our hot chocolate. We wake up to professor shark on the dumpy news. Poop is our compass to life and when we have a giant bob ross in our house. Thank you. GET THIs APP NOW OR YOULL BE AN EXPLODING TACO.
The web developers truly understand who we are and what our app needs are. We love you, dont-buy-this-app developers.
It's strange, random and weird, but it's the coolest and most fun thing you will ever play. DOWNLOAD NOW.
Words cannot express how this app changed our life! Before, we were living under a tarp in a fish market talking to disembodied cod heads (as you do), however after downloading this app we began to feel comfortable around disembodied Atlantic salmon heads and began talking to them instead! Incredible! After saving up to buy ponies through our street act of interpretive dancing with various deceased fish we found ourselves sharing a stall with a rather attractive young female donkey who recently became our wife and we are expecting our first foal this fall! We are currently saving up to buy more ponies and we can only imagine how this will improve our life! Thank you kind sir.
Well this is a very smooth app we like it it's pretty fun.
When we're feeling blue, with nothing else to do, we pick up our phone, we toss the dog a bone, And look at the taco we blew.
Although the developers certainly see it that way. Seriously, do not waste your time. It is not clever, artistic, layered, meta, ironic, or any other word that would imply some degree of wit.
Wickedly creative, funnily amusing as well. We are excited to have purchased such a beautiful work of art.
Hello our friends, this app is a huge scam and steals all your cats lemon tacos. Please do not waste your pesos on dis wasteful lettuce. Always remember.. Defeating a sandwich makes it tastier. -le spoodermonki.
