What real reviews say
★★ Play if you like the difficulty I'm writing this because I found the game too difficult, so I'm leaving this review because I found the game too difficult for me. But again, if you don't mind the difficulty but this game. I know this review won't apply to everyone, but this is just my opinion, it's too difficult for me.
★★★★★ Fun but one thing… So I love the game and the concept but the thing I hate is how many times I get trapped. It’s probably just a skill issue though.
★★ No sound at all, buttons unresponsive. Too bad. Really looked forward to playing this. No sound is a game killer. Buttons unresponsive.
