### 1/5 — Greedy developer waste of time

*2021-04-21, version 1.0.4*

The game lets you play a little bit but makes it so you have to pay to play the rest if they were gonna do that they should have just  made is so that you have to buy it it’s just a waste of time

### 5/5 — Gameplay

*2019-10-29*

This game was great and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it however I would wish to see more gameplay available. It didn’t take too long to beat the game and for 4 dollars I felt kind of disappointed. I loved the game though and would definitely play more if they had more levels or modes!

### 2/5 — New game modes broke game

*2019-10-14*

The game is very short, I don’t feel it’s worth the price. Aside from that, I just beat it and the game no longer works. I can’t play any of the new game modes, or even play previous levels without the game crashing. I’m on an 8+

### 2/5 — Fun, but wasnot worth it.

*2019-10-09*

Game was too short. Beat it easily and whenever I attempt the new modes the game just crashes. I have an iPhone XS so I doubt it’s my phone that is the problem.

### 5/5 — Definitely worth a try

*2019-08-13*

Easy operation, nice cartoons and lovely plot. It's definitely worth a try!

### 3/5 — I want to play more

*2019-07-23, version 1.0.3*

Fix the payment system for the extra levels

Also it kind of annoys me when a word is split in dialogue

### 4/5 — Payment failed

*2019-04-14*

I wanna keep going with the game but its always telling me my payments failing. Decent game used to play it when i was younger wanted to go back and play the actual game.

### 4/5 — Payment failed Update Needed

*2019-02-05*

It’s a great game, but it  needs a patch. For me and other potential customers, the game won’t let us purchase the full version. I can’t stress how much I’d like to play this game. I’ve been searching for a simple side scrolling RPG like this and it’s the only decent looking one on the App Store. I would like to hear back form the developers on if they know weither or not this problem exists. If possible to make the full version and expansion on the App Store so other IOS users would have to worry about the problem of the in app purchase.

### 5/5 — Payment problems

*2019-01-24*

The game is great for what it is but, I’m having a problem with paying for the rest of the game. Just keeps saying payment fail.

### 2/5 — Can buy

*2019-01-19*

Great game but every time I try to buy anything it says payment failed
