### 1/5 — Snore

*2025-08-27*

If you have no imagination and are easily pleased this game is for you.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-01-21*

I have the arcade subscription and I played the second version to this game which I love! I actually paid for this one thinking it would be just as fun. The graphics are no where near as nice and the fact that there is no dodge button makes it annoying to play. Don’t waste your money on this game!!! I deleted it after 30min of playing

### 5/5 — I made a mistake

*2020-04-16*

This isn’t bad game. It’s as good as the second. Almost. I made the mistake of playing the second first, and then buying the first without playing the free version. The lack of a dodge button really made it painful to play—only because I kept reaching for that empty spot where it usually is. But again, that was my bad.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-03-22*

Why do people not like this. So Zelda like.

### 5/5 — MUY BUEN JUEGO

*2020-01-01, version 1.11*

Es un excelente juego en mecánicas y niveles el diseño y el arte están excelentes aunque en mi opinión personal es algo corto aún así es un buen juego de reflejos y puzzles

### 2/5 — But

*2019-04-06*

Le jeu me plait mais au niveau 6 Près le check-point le jeu bloque. J’ai acheté le jeu, 
‘J’aimerais savoir comment débloquer. Merci

### 4/5 — Mehr Updates

*2019-02-06*

Mehr Updates wären gut, paar Level hinzufügen. 
Es ist ziemlich kurz.

### 4/5 — iPhone X screen problem

*2018-10-03, version 1.06*

Make it fit the iPhone X screen please!

### 4/5 — Sarcastic but honest review.

*2017-12-16, version 1.06*

Wait a game with an original plot and story? What’s next, enjoyable gameplay? Oh wait...

Ok aside from the amazing story and characters, the gameplay is somewhat a tad bit cheesy at times with the whole victory dance at the end of a level. But I just adore the stylish cutscene  and fascinating storytelling that the game opens with when you first open the app. It give this game a 4/5 stars.

### 4/5 — Not amazing, but good.

*2017-11-03, version 1.06*

Levels were a little too easy and repetitive for me. Breezed through this but would be good for a younger audience.
