Horrendous controls ruin a great game

The accuracy of the touch controls and the fact that you have to drag everything, and the map itself, make this fun game a total pain to play. What a waste.

Love it

Incredible, and a fun way to learn history.

Everyone should play this game

I’ve played it previously on the computer and I’m so glad to see it come to mobile. Now that we’re seeing a return of f@scism and the populist right, this game is more poignant and necessary than ever. Thank you devs.

Great Game!!

Here’s the deal. This is genuinely a great game. I feel like they did a good job balancing out the difficulties with different events (risky + high reward vs low risk + average reward). It does give a sense of foreboading.

The only problem i have with the game is that can sometimes be hard to move around the map. Sometimes I would try to click to drag/zoom out in the map and it cancels my actions so i have to start over again. Another thing I notice is that sometimes it prevents me from doing any action despite all requirement met. It’s not a requirement issue that I’m missing cause the whole screen freezes and i can’t even exit out of the event to refresh. So i have to close to whole app to start over.

I also suggest adding a skip button for the transitions between each chapter. This is bc: again my screen freezes and sometimes i accidently press the menu button and it gets stuck therr DURING the transition sceens. And also sometimes i’m replaying the game and want to skipthe transitions.

Honestly, this game iz wonderful. Lovely and charming artwork, a great idea for a game, andI enjoy living through historical events…but I think the controls need a bit of work bc sometimes it glitches and ends up frustrating me.

Ready to give up

I love the game but I cannot hit CONFIRM to start a mission. This is absurd!! Please fix and it’ll be 5 stars.

Response from developer

Hey there, and sorry for the trouble. We had an issue similar to this where the hitbox of the head of one of the crew members was "too big" and you always selected the member instead of the confirm button. But that issue should be fixed. Nevertheless, you could try to "fire" the on guy of you team that is located below the confirm button to see if that solves the problem and double check this theory? Maybe we missed a specific set of hat or haircut that still has this problem. Kind regards, HG-Support

Great, I just ask a favor

Love the game, I have been playing it constantly since I downloaded it. My only gripe is there needs to be a way to skip the opening scenes and credits. It gets old after your 20th play through. Also there is a bug that prevents you from completing a mission involving passports. No support in 2 years it appears

Important. Worth playing!

Interesting and very very difficult game. Very educational!

This game is very fun and educational

I love this game already two days ago I got this game it’s very cool I think this is the best World War II game on the App Store

Great game a few glitches when it comes to saving

Really thought provoking and challenging game lots of replay value to try different missions- save often

Love the game; bad mechanics

I love everything about the game! It truly is amazing. But when planning missions it take 15-20 tries to hit either “confirm” or “cancel” because the buttons are so close to the selectable players. It’s extremely frustrating and almost makes it unplayable on mobile.
