### 1/5 — Boo to going Freemium

*2021-06-21, version 2.0.7*

I don’t do f2p one of my biggest pet peeves is a full game I paid one price for going freemium. Deleted

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about that but understand your frustration. Our goal is have the update in the future impact paid and past users as little as possible. If you have paid for C&T in the past or if you have downloaded a version prior to our upcoming update your experience will be close to identical to the PC version of the game (which is not freemium). 

The update will also feature overhauls and new features. Just the other day we implemented a new weapon (the shield) that will be available in the update.

We’re planning to have an IAP available for new users which will unlock full game functionality and features similar to paying for the app now. (In that way we’d like the free download of the game to resemble something like a free demo)

We don’t have exact details at this time as to how we’re implementing things or what exactly will change. However, we do not want to sour the experience for our users that paid for a -paid- game.

### 1/5 — So unreliable!

*2020-07-11, version 1.1.5*

This a such a good game I’m really enjoying it but so far it just keeps crashing at level 5 every run get restarted, it’s just too frustrating!

**Developer response:** We’ve been working on a big 2.0 update to address many issues with the game. One critical area we have been trying to nail down has been stability and crashes.
What model device have you been playing on? If we could pin-point an issue with a particular device model it would be very helpful.
We’re sorry that this has been an issue.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-04-18, version 1.1.4*

Super fun

### 5/5 — Gmack79

*2019-10-28, version 1.0.1*

Great game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-10-27, version 1.0.1*

The game is a rouge light, not seen too much on the App Store, so it offers a nice change of pace from the standard run of the mill. Game play is solid and offers a good bit of challenge for those looking for it while remaining fairly easy to make it through. The story is interesting enough and even has some branching storylines for some good replay ability. Overall I would definitely pick it up as it’s a free to play, with money going to additional cosmetics if you want them.

### 5/5 — Fun and adventurous!

*2019-10-24, version 1.0.1*

This game is fun and adventurous and is a great start for a new game developer.
