I used to play this all the time with my friends and family back in middle school. We'd literally took turns on the ipad after someone crashed. Imagine my surprise when I found this gem on the steam store! I really enjoyed this game and the surge of memories it brought back, and my family immediately remembered this game as soon as I showed them it today!
