*2020-02-21, version 1.0.1*

Love the games bring them all on, fantastic to play

### 3/5 — Sympa mais gros bug

*2020-01-08*

Ça serait parfait ( ambiance conforme aux autres épisodes) mais gros bug au lancement de l’application qui se ferme avant même qu’on puisse jouer. Ce qui est étrange c’est qu’il a fallu desintaller le jeux puis le réinstaller pour qu’il fonctionne. Puis à nouveau le bug recommence et là impossible de jouer...
Dommage....

### 1/5 — Don’t bother....

*2019-12-29, version 1.0.1*

Once they get your $$$$ on this one, the latest games skyrocket!!! $21.99 for version XI????? Unbelievable.  
Read the reviews on that one Jetdogs....you’ve lost a heck of a lot of loyal customers in your grab for cash.  No-one is buying at that price. 
Developers, take note - how to ruin a brilliant series and your brand in one fell swoop.

### 5/5 — Hercules

*2019-12-27*

I always love these Hercules games!

### 3/5 — More

*2019-12-11*

Even though I have all the pieces, even more parts of the puzzle are now missing.  You didn’t fix the issues and you want $13.99 for the next one?  This is terrible... you need a hot fix ASAP pls
