I played for hours and hours without using hints or answers and it was challenging yet extremely fun! Keep on making more games like this :) ### 5/5 — Old school text game *2013-02-06, version 2.0* Love this.

A must play game! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2011-08-15, version 1.0* Amazing job! Really enjoyed playing this and it was hardcore addictive.

I wish there was a way for me to move forward. ### 2/5 — Boring... *2013-02-02* Sry, but game is boring.... Maybe just I'm not fan of such games... But still...... ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!!! *2014-12-12, version 2.0* Please update it like you did the first hack run, practically unplayable in its state compared to the first, love the game and would like to purchase and play the updated series. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Not nearly as good as first Hack Run *2014-06-01* I loved the original. This one is frustrating. The passwords are less logical -- based on clues -- and there is more guessing involved. Worse, over and over again, there is really nothing to do except read a mail, and then wait for a new mail while you twiddle your thumbs (wander around the system aimlessly.) Worst of all, the game keeps "aborting" commands to announce new emails. Really. Do you think I enjoy typing (on an iPad virtual keyboard!) for no good reason? It won't announce the emails unless you type something so you are set up for this to happen over and over. This is what drove me to come write this review before I even finished the game. If this was the first game in the series, I woudn't have bought any more. As it is, I'm probably willing to try again with #3, if I can get thru this one. Though as good as the first one was, $3 seems a little steep for each entry in this series. ### 3/5 — Boring and tedious pre-quel *2014-02-23* I have played Hack Run and loved it. Appealed to my skills with research and Unix. But this prequel is extremely illogical in its riddles and tedious to jump around from system to system. And why does the hints system not know which level I am on? ### 4/5 — Love this *2012-04-13* This is a really good game to take up time...but I can't get bast the level where you enter in the address for the comm settings. I do what it says exactly but the game keeps giving me an error. Please help. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-09-21* this game is one of the best adventure/suspense games ive ever played. worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Hack Run ZERO HD *2014-06-06, version 2.0* Very entertaining even if the answer to a few of the challenges is a it random. ### 5/5 — Best Prequel *2014-06-01* Out of all the prequels I've ever played, this was the best. The stories lined up so well. Thank you to the devs for making a great game. Can't wait to buy the next! ### 5/5 — great game *2014-05-24* this is a really fun game. At first I did not think a prequel would be any good. but this is a great one. the ending would not make sense if you have not played the first game. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2014-02-22* I loved this game. I have completed both this and Hack RUN, and am going to play Hack Time as well! ### 5/5 — awesome *2014-02-10, version 2.0* This game was totally awesome. Worked my way through it without stopping. Way better than many of the games on the app store and can't wait to play hack time. ### 5/5 — Amazing prequel *2013-12-25* Another great plot and story, I especially liked the atmosphere where it made you feel like everything is real just like the first one, my only complaint is some of the mail don't give enough hints or maybe that's just me, still, 5 stars for the awesome game keep up the great work :D ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-09-20* This game reminds me of old computers, like DOS! This is a really good game! ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-06-27* This game is extremely addicting. Well crafted and fun to play. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2013-04-30, version 2.0* Playing the next one now. Please make more! I like the whole dos experience, hope we get to do a little bit of coding on the next one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
