Too easy, too slow, no strategy. Pretty art but boring gameplay. Can’t tell if it’s for kids or adults. **Developer response:** We appreciate you giving Criss Cross Castle a try and sharing your honest impressions. The blend of word puzzles with adventure is something we’re still refining, and feedback like this helps us balance challenge and pacing for different players. ### 2/5 — just a bad game overall. *2025-08-25, version 1.4.9* there's too many things to list that are wrong with the game. ### 3/5 — Save issue *2026-04-02* This app is clever and fun, if a bit lacking in polish at the moment. It is therefore unfortunate that I appear to have completely lost my save data upon completion of the (first?) map. I look forward to this getting a little more attention - there’s a lot of good stuff here. ### 5/5 — Super-Fun word game *2026-06-19* Challenging but fun !

The art style is beautiful and really stands out. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-01-21, version 1.5.6* This game is so fun and addicting! I love that it works my brain and doesn’t get boring.
