### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-06, version 1.6*

I’ve closed and opened the game several times and it won’t start. I’ve deleted and reloaded the game several times and it still won’t start. The only thing that seems to be active on the opening page is the restart feature to make it even worse the yes or no option for restarting don’t work. 

Absolute waste of money.

### 1/5 — app does not work

*2024-11-02, version 1.6*

the app is broken, completely non-functional

### 1/5 — Refund can’t play game

*2024-10-15, version 1.6*

Bought and downloaded the game twice. Opens but does not let you play at all. I clicked app support and it says your blocked from the site

### 1/5 — El juego no inicia;

### 5/5 — Laville

*2013-05-04, version 1.4*

Awesome game! Can't wait for the sequel!!

### 5/5 — The best!!!!!!!:D

*2013-05-01, version 1.4*

Escape from LaVille is the best puzzle game I've ever played! Best graphics, best clues, and ingenious puzzles. Please make the sequel a little longer than the first one though, aside from that, it's perfect.  Only a stuck-up, over-confident puzzle genius would think to call it a waste of money!!!

### 2/5 — Too short!!

*2013-03-17, version 1.4*

Was really good game play. Definitely gets your brain working. However, it's a very short game n this really p€$^%ed me off!!!

### 1/5 — Shame on you!

*2013-02-15, version 1.4*

Shame on you! It's the second time I 've downloaded this game and it still doesn't open. Find another way to steel money. The ethical thing to do is to refund me the money, if you want to be treated as professionals.

### 1/5 — Short

*2013-01-28, version 1.4*

Too short. Done in 30 min with bathroom break.  Agh waist of money.  Sad
