No images is shown in the game

When I was looking at the flashcards in all of the books on the game I just realized that there aren’t images in those books in that game. The game is find but I would like to have that bug fix as soon as possible.

Review

This would be a LOT better game if it was not so sensitive to the touch! I broke 90 % of the artifacts and did not even know they were there, and no matter how slow I went still broke them! Takes FOREVER after you HS e them all to clean the rest of the pit too! I do not want to spend over half my time rubbing my iPad to get the dirt out , takes way too long in between areas too. Great idea! However just not workable sorry.

This game is just so freakin Good. You dig some loafers find some cool stuff and asks you question and then you write the missing words. I feel like this game is good for people that wanna do excavating stuff in the future but I went to text someone and came back it restarted or something really
