Bugs, needs update
Originally I gave this game a good review. But after playing more, I no longer recommend it. Too bad, because if bugs were fixed it would be a good game.
Regularly, you’ll play a game where the app just gives you the same house/room card over and over, so you can never get out of the house. So of course you lose.
Also, the buttons on the bottom don’t always respond, partly because they are too close to the multitask bar. And the notch on top cuts things off a bit too.
If this game ever gets fixed (doubtful) I’ll update my review. Until then, don’t bother playing it.

Good but needs update
This is a good game for when you have a few minutes to kill and want something fairly light. I appreciate that there are no ads or IAP.
It does need an update, though. The buttons on the bottom are a bit hard to click because they’re so close to the multitask swipe-up bar. And the notch at the top cuts the time off a bit. Everything is still playable, but the interface is a bit clunky. It took me a couple games to get used to it. The buttons on the bottom are the most frustrating aspect, though, because of how close they are to where you swipe up to multitask apps.
It’s still an enjoyable press your luck game, I do recommend it, but please, developer, update it for current phones and iOS. I’d play it more if you did.

Needs updating
Just bought this yesterday and it seems to work ok. I did come across the bug a couple times where the same tile generates over and over and aside from that the buttons are slightly off the top and bottom of the screen on my iPhone 12 so they’re really awkward to press.
Just seems like it needs an update to address screen size and fix that tile bug and it’ll be much better.

Needs tons of work but it could be fun
I like the idea of this game but it needs work. Right now it doesn’t necessarily give me a reason to even play because it’s really simple with no real strategy involved. It could really use an overhaul for the rules in general, the buttons are too small, and adding dice for combat would be great.
Potentially good
It’s a good recreation of the solo game but:
It seems too easy. The +3 health in the kitchen and on one of the garden tiles seems to sway the game in favour of the player too much. I don’t remember this feature of these tiles in the original game.
I hit a bug where the living room tile kept appearing one after the other so that I as stuck in an endless house! I’ve only seen this happened on my third game.
As it is, it’s OK, but needs a bit of tidying up for 5 stars, especially at the current price tag (1.99).

Another 5-star game from ycyclop/Gilad!
At this point, I blind purchase any of ycyclop/Gilad's games - they're all pretty simple to learn but are devilishly fun to master! The rules are straightforward and gameplay is so smooth. Thank you again for your continued work and porting these wonderfully compact yet rich little games!
