This app is great, but please add Turkish language support to improve the app.
Developer Response
Thank you for your kind comment!Each language we add involves high development time and long term support, so we can't promise to add the numerous other languages people would like to play in. We also know that the Turkish language is very spoken, and not only in Türkiye.We keep note of your request.

Das Spiel hat ein gutes Konzept. Es kann bisschen langweilig am Anfang für die fortgeschrittenen Leute sein, aber passt für kurze Pause irgendwo in der U-bahn oder während einer Erwartung. Danke an Entwickler.
