### 5/5 — Still an all-time great

*2023-08-05*

First played this game 7 or 8 years ago and I still play it regularly. The built-in levels are fine, but the community-created levels are so much better and give the game endless reply value.

### 2/5 — Where are the community maps?

*2019-10-26, version 1.2.5*

Love this game.  Took a break for a time but recently returned.  I no longer have access to community maps!  What’s up with that. Playing the same few games is unfulfilling.

### 5/5 — Greeeeaaattt Fun!

*2018-12-07, version 1.2.5*

Really fun making games and playing other games created. Been well over a year since I played but would think about the game and share with others, encouraging them to play. I'm back now a ready for fun. Great work everyone.  Thanks to the creators for making this game and for allowing the building of games scenarios by others.

### 5/5 — Thank You For 64-Bit Update!

*2017-09-15, version 1.1.1*

A really excellent game that heralds back to a time in the App Store when you could actually buy games instead of rent them (AKA Freemium).

### 1/5 — Update!

*2016-08-02, version 1.1.1*

Needs an update. Game is starting to be buggy. Unplayable.

### 5/5 — New Apple TV

*2015-11-10, version 1.1.1*

Thanks for the port!!!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2015-11-07, version 1.1.1*

I don't write game reviews often, but when I do they are the best.

Two words:
Endless Replayability

### 5/5 — Awesome Stealth Game!

*2015-11-06, version 1.1.1*

Hide

### 5/5 — Thanks for tvOS and MFi support

*2015-11-06, version 1.1.1*

Love this game! Hopefully the new Apple TV and controller support will bring this app to the Top Charts! Fun, challenging, and excellent replay value. No IAPs either.

### 4/5 — Escape!

*2014-12-15, version 1.0.22*

Excellent game. My 8-year-old grandson enjoys it, as does his old granny. (He's not to the slashing gorillas yet, and I wish you would lose the blood. It's the only unpleasant aspect of the game.) The challenges are well thought out. Thanks.
