User reviews

It's got the pipes, and that's great, but it doesn't have any settings that you can change. While I'm not too mad that I can't change the color, I really wish I could change the speed. Personally I think it's way to fast. You should be able to change those things, that's the way it used to be.

Brings back so many good childhood memories, and those are ones more towards my time in elementary school (I miss those days). I remember sitting in the computer lab and watching just this for minutes on end; and also on my sister's old computer back in the early '00's. Bravo Job on returning what little fun we all had!! Hope to see more of this type of extension (as simple as it is). -Chuck
