### 3/5 — Alright

*2026-07-02, version 2.1*

The game is very fun itself, but I don’t like how I have to pay for the full version

### 1/5 — Total rip

*2026-05-17, version 2.1*

Bugs.  No way to progress.  Paid for hints twice blaming myself but just got more requests for money.  Don’t waste your money

### 5/5 — Pretty cool

*2025-12-03, version 2.1*

The game if very interactive,which is why I think overall it’s a pretty cool game. Great job 👍🏽

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2025-10-12, version 2.1*

Wanted to love it but the sensitivity or something is off- I can not get past the first task- a balancing act via phone tilt. I’ve tried endlessly and am rage quitting.

### 1/5 — No rain coats

*2025-10-05, version 2.1*

I can’t collect rain coats in the laundry room. It says zero no matter what. I can’t contact customer support about the issue. It’s really stupid.

### 1/5 — ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!???

*2025-08-15, version 2.1*

I have to BUY THE FULL GAME!?!?!?! That is absolute trash.

### 1/5 — horrible

*2025-08-09, version 2.1*

i go to the next level right and you have to balance stuff on top of eachother. when i asked for the clue thinking i wouldent have to do them i got “ balance and walk” or something like that. this should have a skip thing because its horrible.  making me rage😡😡

### 2/5 — Muita propaganda

*2025-08-03*

Muita propaganda

### 1/5 — Stupid puzzle

*2025-06-01, version 2.1*

Walk down this hallway with a bunch of stuff that’s stacked stupidly. Try and lean and balance your phone so that it doesn’t spill. Got it?

NOW DO IT AGAIN.

So, it’s just as stupid and pointless, but harder? What’s the point?

Ohhhhh…. If I pay for a key, I can get past this stupid and pointless puzzle? 🙄

Just make it a paid game and remove the pointless content.

### 1/5 — Cant Pass Level...

*2025-05-16, version 2.1*

Maybe just my fault but Ive tried the balance part many times and I cant pass it. Even when Im at the end and we stop walking, the top piece will fall over and need to restart. Not worth wasting time on a game people say you need to pay to continue
