“…a simple platformer with ambitious goals. Your spunky, pixelated avatar runs across the screen to the right familiarly, defeating as many enemies as possible while conserving ammo….Throwing tampons at people feels very, very cool.” - KillScreenDaily.com
“…an 8-bit video game with a big mission” - Today.com

8 of 15This game is amazing! There should be a second one when you have to bounce off of pads like doodle jump! I love how this game is teaching how mensuration is totally normal.
I read the book before playing, and I love both! Would recommend.
I LOVE YOU AND THIS GAME THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT
Congrats to Andy & Sophie. Not only is this game fun, but it’s one of the most innovative concepts I’ve seen in a while. Can’t wait to see what your future brings.
This generation isn't offended by this in some way shape or form. Surprised honestly.
Play Queen healthy mama I love this game is it download it and if you don’t you’re a misogynist and people hate you
I showed him this game and he was immediately addicted. Now we challenge each other for high score by texting high score pictures back and forth! I’m he’s currently winning. It’s ok I have self control with the game.
I would like to comment on things that would make this game as a fellow game/app developer and player. I feel that a restart button would be better after you press pause to they can restart if they need to along with other characters like maybe a black women with curly hair and the same clothing and animation along with maybe power ups like maybe period pills or pain medicine along with maybe foods because everyone know a girl on her period with out food is the worst I know from experience.I hope you read over my comment so you can make this game even BETTER and I completely agree with this message.Have a great day
