### 1/5 — Game won’t open

*2026-07-28, version 2.9*

Downloaded game but can’t open it. Yes it is an old IPad but said it would download.

### 5/5 — 👏👏👏

*2026-07-17, version 2.9*

Just stunning!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing every time

*2026-06-13, version 2.9*

Really want to play this game but keeps crashing on iPad Pro m4. Requested for refund.

### 5/5 — Very cool game design

*2026-05-01, version 2.9*

Even after 9 + years, this game is still quite a beautiful work of art. A nice balance of graphics, animation, sound, music, simple, playable, relaxing.

### 5/5 — Jungle Adventure‼️🐍

*2026-04-27, version 2.9*

This epic journey takes place in a serpent jungle filled with various venomous creatures with hidden treasures throughout.

This game is huge!

The first chapter introduces you to navigation.

All of the collectible treasures are in plain sight and easy to find. 🏺

The second chapter introduces the first enemy, a snake. 🐍

The treasures will require some effort to find.

As you continue to play, further chapters will introduce many things and abilities, some of which require proper planning and timing of your movements.

As you advance throughout the game, the treasures will be more hidden, making them more challenging to find.

As you unlock the various treasures, you also unlock various outfits that Lara can wear. I find myself switching it up to a different outfit every time I play.

A few tricks I discovered: ↓

It is possible to attack a snake from one node facing you:

1. When you are climbing up from below

2. When you step on a switch that causes the snake to get hit

3. When you are holding a spirit torch

To defeat a Blood Salamander: ↓

1. When climbing a wall with a crack when being followed by a salamander, once you crack the wall going up (or down), immediately reverse direction and you will backflip behind the salamander where you can attack from behind. 🦎

The sound effects and animations are on another level. 🤩

This game has officially become my favorite game of all time! 🥰

It only takes just over 1½  hours to complete from start to finish when you become an expert like me.

I love this game and you will too! 🥰

### 5/5 — Jungle Adventure‼️🐍

*2026-03-14*

This epic journey takes place in a serpent jungle filled with various venomous creatures with hidden treasures throughout.

This game is huge!

The last time I climbed walls and collected ancient artifacts and gemstones involved Nathan Drake.

A few tricks I discovered: ↓

1. To attack a snake facing you, you must be climbing up to the snake from below and it will never see you coming. 🐍

2. When climbing a wall with a crack when being followed by a salamander, once you crack the wall going up (or down), immediately reverse direction and you will backflip behind the salamander where you can attack from behind. 🦎

Thank you to the entire development team for your tireless and creative work.

The sound effects sound so real and the animations are authentically realistic. 🤩

This game has officially become my favorite game of all time! 🥰

The huge queen snake battle was my absolute favorite part. 🤩

I love finding all of the interesting treasures hidden throughout this game. 🥰

This is a quality game! 💯
