Great but super unstable

I love the core game here. The mechanics are simple but there are so many permutations that keep it interesting level to level. The story is a little cheeky but it helps break up the puzzles.

This would be an out of the park 5 if it were so unstable on iOS. I’m on an iPhone 16 pro and it crashes constantly, but at least consistently.
- want to pause the game to look at settings? Game crashes
- get a text mid game? Game crashes
- swipe up to look at another app? Game crashes

Sometimes when the game crashes my progress it reset but then when I do the tutorial again I get all my stuff back.

Overall great game, but be wary of game crashes.

Crazy Crashes

I love the gameplay but, like so many others, have experienced a crazy number of crashes. It crashes every time I switch out of the app, I pause the app, or I try to change the settings while in-game. It has erased all my progress forcing me to start over.

Brandon Sanderson Sent Me

I recently watched a Brandon Sanderson video where he recommended this game. I did really enjoy my time in the game… when it wasn’t crashing. I was even willing to see it through to the end in spite of the crashing as the actual gameplay was a lot of fun, but at (I think) floor 49, the game crashed when I tried to hit pause, and upon reloading the app, all my progress was wiped.
Deleting the app after this. No way I’m going back through those levels again while dealing with the unending parade of crashes. There’s a good game in here, I’m just bummed I won’t see it through to the end.

Fun but buggy

I like the concept. However, the game crashes waaaaay too much. Often after crashing the levels you have completed will be erased. This forces you to restart. It’s frustrating.

Terrible performance on iphone

The game is fun and I’d like to play more but the crashing is ridiculous. It crashes all the time and if you change focus off the app at all it resets all level progress. Some levels can take up to 10 minutes and having all that progress erased is annoying. Even worse last time it seemed to delete my entire game history, it wants me to start from level 1 again. Until they fix these issues I don’t think the game is worth getting.
