### 4/5 — 可以的❤️

体验感很好，但是手电筒不亮，我已经关闭蓄能了，再打开时还是不亮，希望能改进

**Developer response:** 感谢您玩我们的游戏。我们会在更新时研究这个问题。:-)

### 5/5 — Underrated Horror Game

*2024-08-20*

I’ve played various horror games before so downloading this game with only 13 reviews was doubting; however, I shouldn’t always judge a book by it’s cover because it turned out to be more suspenseful than expected.

  I’m not someone who gets easily scared, but this game nailed it. Unlike most horror games that don’t provide the players with enough light, this one does! I love how you are still able to see whether your flashlight is on or off. 

  The graphics may not be amazing to a realistic status nowadays, but this game has it’s own special way to still have you on your tippy-toes. 

  I hope this underrated horror game gets the popularity it deserves.

  

- Also, I wouldn’t take my time to write all this if I was lying about how scary it is.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for this review! Very much appreciated! :-)

### 5/5 — Terrifying

*2024-04-25*

Very scary, goal isn’t so clear but will eventually figure it out

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! :-) You have to complete the different mission types to finally unlock the "last" stage. :-)

### 4/5 — Nice memories

*2024-02-15*

I remember playing that game when I was really young, the big monster was really scary and fascinating. And I really like the vibe that the game give off. Plus I didn’t expect any updates at all. Seeing this monster/zombie(?) again is really cool. It’s too bad we didn’t get to have any lore about the monster or anything.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review Stuss! :-) There's no lore regarding it, because back in 2013 when we first made the game, we thought it'll be cool to not know anything. If the game was more successful, we might have added some lore to it, but right now it doesn't make sense to invest much time.

### 1/5 — 亮度0

*2025-01-17*

游戏里的亮度一直是0  调不动  一进去全黑  玩不了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的评论。我们更新了游戏，现在可以玩了！

### 1/5 — Не запускается

*2025-01-05*

Даже не запустилась игра моего детства) айфон 13 про

**Developer response:** Сожалеем об этом. Мы скоро обновим игру. Обязательно проверьте еще раз.

### 1/5 — Crappy controls

*2024-11-01*

So when i move the thing (idk the name of the thing you use to move around) it goes to where my finger is, basically when i move the cursor itself moves with my finger, in turn i have to move forward, than i have to let go, only to move forward to keep going. So its very JANKY movements, and in turn its hard to move around corners

**Developer response:** Hi ASURA_stan, the left side of the screen is for moving, the right side for looking around. I'm not sure I understand the problem, but you can hold your fingers in one place and move. That should work fine. If you can, send us a screenshot of the problem to support@smuttlewerk.de and explain again what's wrong. Thanks!

### 1/5 — ？

*2024-10-17*

有bug调节不了亮度一直黑屏

**Developer response:** 感谢您告知我们。如果您能给我们发送电子邮件至 support@smuttlewerk.de，那就太好了。请在邮件中提及 iOS 版本和您的设备。还有一件事：您知道灯需要充电，对吧？ 编辑：我们更新了游戏，现在可以运行了！

### 1/5 — 改

*2023-08-08*

为什么不能亮度是0还改不了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的评论。 你有一个手电筒，当你关闭它时它会重新充电。 重新装填期间，天会变黑。

### 1/5 — bug

*2023-07-25*

Can't adjust the brightness, it's dark!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear about the problems. Please write us an email with an attached screenshot to support@smuttlewerk.de and we'll have a look at what's going on. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Bring the old back

*2025-09-23*

You think you can bring back the classic garden of fear back as a mode? The new modes just seem to upfront and it loses what made the old version of this game ominous, being dropped off in a maze not knowing what to do or what’s in there with you I just hope you guys can make it into a mode instead of what we have now

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review Hubert! I'm sorry, but bringing back the old game is impossible. The codebase is from 2013 and when we made the new version, we had to change/update so many things.

### 2/5 — Has room for improvement

*2023-04-07*

The game doesn't seem ready for the market because video ads don't work, so you don't have enough tools to start. Game navigation is easy, but tools don't appear across the maze. It would be great to have a tutorial with simple tools to start and more advanced tools for killing zombies that can be found as you progress. I was able to complete the game without even encountering zombies for the first time, which doesn't seem right.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this problem Khaninejad. We are currently trying hard to fix this issue, but we have to wait for an answer from our ad-mediation network. Each maze is different. The mazes with normal difficulty only have the big monster in it, the large one also ahve the infant abominations in it. Tools can be found all over the maze, regardless of difficulty.

### 3/5 — 亮度调不了

*2024-11-19*

你们是不是故意不让调亮度啊！？？难怪我一直重复退出进去，那个手电筒重复好几遍开关不都？？？这你们不管了？是不继续维护这款游戏？？

**Developer response:** 感谢您的评论。这款游戏的下载量非常少。我们这里只有 2 个人，所以我们必须专注于真正能赚钱的事情。如果您遇到问题，请将屏幕截图和问题的详细描述发送至 support@smuttlewerk.de。

### 3/5 — 手电筒没灯

*2024-01-22*

为什么进去手电筒没有用，没有灯

**Developer response:** 感谢您的评论。 手电筒有电池寿命。 您可以将其关闭和打开。 关闭时，击球手会重新加载。 如果电池电量耗尽，它将开始自动重新充电。 您必须触摸手电筒按钮才能再次打开它。

游戏很好玩，但我只通过了全部的简单关卡，困难关卡中棒球棍连续点太多下会导致用不了棒球棍，这样就打不了婴儿怪，希望改进一下，然后我很好奇隐藏成就是什么，可以告诉我一下吗？
