Still amazing after all these years

So simple yet much fun to explore different combinations of games and staff. I must have played through this game 5 times over the years.

Great time killer game

Honestly don’t know where to start with kariosoft games. Because I swapped from iPhone to android back to iPhone I think I’ve purchased their games multiple times on different platforms.

I remember my friend introducing my to this game back in I think 2010 when Amazon had weekly free apps to download and this was one of them. It’s now 2026 and since then I’ve consistently played this as a game I would binge. I’ve also played their other games but this one is the one I always default too. Only thing I hate is the fact that you can’t choose “fast mode” until you play the game fully once 🙃. Other than that if you like time killer games their games are decent. 5/5

Хотелось бы больше вариативности и больше лейтгейм контента. Под конец игры уже не понимаешь зачем ты вообще делаешь игры и куда тратишь деньги
