### 5/5 — Fun, quirky, clever, ambiance

*2019-10-04*

Good graphics, animations, and puzzles.  Different & original!  

#RECOMMENDED

No bugs so far @2 wks on iPhone 8 w/ iOS 12.4

### 5/5 — Next house please!!!!!!!!!

*2017-06-11, version 1.1*

When will we get next levels - great game - so few sneak games  like this?

### 1/5 — Level 29 too many ghosts

*2015-10-15*

Make that level easier or give us a level skip option so we don't have to go through the super tough levels which are levels I really hate!

### 4/5 — Want More Levels

*2015-08-20*

I love this game. I played it a couple of years ago and am playing again. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I have been waiting for another house (more levels) for a long time.

### 5/5 — A little gem.....

*2014-08-25, version 1.1*

.....this is a little beauty. Starts off easy but gets tricky in the second house. It's a view from above stealth game and is a hidden beauty for me on the App Store and a great precursor to Pixa - which is a masterpiece.
There is an Upcoming Level that will perhaps never come but I'll keep hoping that a super hard third level stops by one day. As it is it's 60 levels of very well made stealth gaming. Well made too.

### 1/5 — House of shadow

*2014-07-28, version 1.1*

### 4/5 — it is so fun

*2014-05-02*

i love this game

### 5/5 — Grrrreat!

*2014-03-22*

I love, love this game!  Please make more levels!!!!

### 4/5 — Veramente carino

*2013-10-21, version 1.1*

Piacevole passatempo non troppo complicato :)

### 5/5 — Bello, anzi troppo bello.

*2013-10-15, version 1.0*

Sembrerebbe annoiante ma più vai avanti e più le cose si fanno dure. Veramente un bel gioco. Bravi sviluppatori avete le mie 5 stelle.😀
