“I have to be honest. While liking the game, DO NOT BUY. The performance ALONE makes this an active game. It regularly freezes and hitches withing 1-2 hours of starting the actual game, FORCING you to restart the application. Luckily saves…”
“The Golden Watermelon is not the end of the game, yet it ends your game to tell you the game is over - what is the reasoning behind this choice BC starting these rounds over is no small matter, why would you do that?”
