Great game

Played this game for the second time. An awesome game to play.

Tech/Design Issues Make a Great Game Merely Good

I enjoyed the game for the most part, but had similar issues to others with lagging and crashing (on iPad 5th Gen, so hardly the latest model: that’s why I didn’t take away more stars). Mostly, the lag issues combined with the small action icons combined with a very finicky interface led to a lot of undeserved captures. In particular, trying to stand in the correct place to push a movable ladder (as opposed to climb it) or to hide in a movable mine cart proved unnecessarily difficult, especially when you have fat fingers and can’t tell because of lag whether you’ve actually hit “crouch/hide” or not. Performing actions in quick succession (such as the sequence required to inspire the final child in The Inauguration) was nearly impossible. There were also a surprising number of places where it was possible to get stuck and be unable to move at all, requiring a level restart/reset. And the level of precision needed for the final challenge of The Farm was just cruel.
That said, apart from those issues, it was a fun game, and a lot longer than I was expecting, though I wish the finale wasn’t so abrupt (I finished The Uprising without even realizing I was at the end!). Nice job, devs!

Almost unplayable

Constant crashes in the middle of a level almost from the start are frustrating and make the „game“ trash.
No update in over a year makes me think it is abandoned.
Beware!

Almost unplayable due to crashes

I am stuck on only level 3 and can‘t proceed. Halfway through the level, the controls and my character disappear. All I can do is to completely reset the level and start again.
This has been brought to your attention over a year ago already, however no update since then. Is this game abandoned?

Beautiful

Amidst all the rubbish here, what a find this game is!

Can’t play

Lots ans lots of bugs

Response from developer

Hey there, and sorry for the trouble. Can you please tell us what exactly is not working for you so we can look into the issue? Kind regards, HG-Support

Worth the price

Finally! A game that’s not too hard, but not too complicated. I also appreciate that it has a realistic storyline, which in all honesty has a sad theme, however, I’m thoroughly enjoying the game overall. this is also not your average game where it’s over in a short amount of time, rather, this is a true adventure game.

Good Game But…

The controls could really use an improvement. The game has a tendency toward sluggishness. Plus having an option to move the controls to a better location on the screen would help a lot. Having the primary motion control located to the left of the action makes it very difficult to operate the character when one is right handed.

El Hijo glitchy

Every time I aim or run the screen goes black and you have to guess where to aim or go to. Controls are a bit sticky .
