Ugh...

This game COULD have been great but the controls are an absolute dumpster fire. You're supposed to walk about and explore, but you cant walk backwards... so anytime you get to a point where you cant move forward anymore you need to turn a full 360 degrees unless you wanna just sit there, stuck. God forbid you need to look at something from a different angle or simply move back a step or two. Its a truly maddening experience. In a 3D first person game this is simply unacceptable. The entire interface as a whole is a pain to use, and so is attempting to look up, down, left, right... ANY direction... ugh. Its just awful.

Horrible!

Complete waste of money. Do not buy! Works horribly on an iPad.

Nothing

Game loaded. Went through several “ please wait “ screens, then as I waited for game to start, the game went away. Twice. Removed game. I’m done

Just being honest

Might be a great game who knows? For me it’s a hard pass when the devs want 10$ and the amount of gameplay offered in the demo takes me literally about a minute to finish. There was a nice “history of our game” to view and I’ll admit at first it seemed like it was going to be decent adventure game but then I realized it took more time to download the app than it was gonna take me to finish this supposed “demo”

My first game purchase, now my latest!

I first bought Colossal Cave on my then brand new Apple ][+. I spent countless hours playing it.

When I heard a graphical version by the Williams folks was out, I had to get it!

It is a lot of fun, be sure to check out the TV :)
