First, the swipe to move doesn’t work well on tablets, and the slingshot can sometimes take multiple taps to actually hit. Which is super annoying when trying to get the target goal times. Could really use something like a virtual D-pad or analog stick. ### 3/5 — Average *2020-10-22* Clunky controls. Lecel timer doesn’t make sense. ### 2/5 — Ruined by unresponsive controls *2019-11-19* This game WOULD have been fun if it weren’t for the touch controls sometimes just not responding and is the sole reason I can’t beat more then half the goal times. All this game needs is controller support and it would fix everything. ### 3/5 — Alright *2016-10-26* I think the game is boring, but you might like the game so if you like dark games and boring games then this is for you😉Bye 👋🏻 ### 5/5 — Fun quick game *2016-10-26* Most of the low star review complaints are about the high difficulty. I'll admit that it is a challenging game and if that's not what you want this game is not for you. However, this game is creative rewarding and engaging. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge. ### 4/5 — Nice Game Bad Controls *2016-10-25* The windows are too small, I wasted almost 15s om each window that is located on the left or right hence making reaching the goal impossible. ### 2/5 — READ THIS PLEASE *2016-10-21, version 1.2.1* The game is great but you can't complete room 113 the ghost at the end kills you but if you make this level completeble or more easy this game will get five stars ### 5/5 — This game is lit *2016-10-21, version 1.2.1* Boiiiii it's 🔦 ### 3/5 — Great...until this happened... *2016-10-17* Loved the game but all of a sudden on floor 114 the monster would not burn up so I couldn't continue. So I removed it. Reloaded and on floor 104, again the monster wouldn't chase me or burn up not letting me go any further so I deleted it again. Too bad, really enjoyed it ### 5/5 — NES difficulty *2016-10-10* I read many reviews on how hard this game is and that perhaps a tutorial would be helpful, that the goal times are unreasonable. I'm playing on an iPhone 4S, and have limited screen to see the tools on the bottom but I figured it out. The game is intuitive and exploration is key. This is a strategic game and the goal times are the most efficient routes taken. Needing a tutorial? These players are latest-gen. kids that are are used to having things handed to them. Play the game and figure it out and stop attempting the same strategy over-and-over again. It will get you your regular solve-time but try other things. ### 2/5 — Glitch *2016-09-26, version 1.2.1* Glitch on level 15 that doesn't let you kill the monster ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2016-09-22* I do enjoy this game, HOWEVER, the goal times are unreasonable. Half of the time the character doesn't move when you ask, or you'll tap on a window 15 times before he actually shoots the pebble to break it. I made goal time on like the first 3 levels. After that it was hopeless. ### 4/5 — Was Good, But Not Great *2016-09-21* Loved the gameplay. Loved the art style. The windows are a bit hard to hit and the story (i got both endings) left a lot to be desired... ### 2/5 — Confusing *2016-09-20* The objective of the game is clear, however there is no instructions on how to play the game! I've been restarting over and over again to try and figure it out, and maybe I'm just an idiot but a set of instructions would be nice. ### 3/5 — Need tutorial *2016-09-20* Cant figure out how to play, still gonna try to figure out the first room but a beginning tutorial would help a lot. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying *2016-12-05, version 1.2.1* UMM RACHEL DIED ANYWAYS!!!! ### 1/5 — This game looks cool *2016-10-30, version 1.2.1* I literally FOR the life of me cannot figure out how to play, it's sad because it looks really awesome, please add a how to play page ### 1/5 — No instructions or tutorial *2016-10-21, version 1.2.1* Makes no since deleted right away ### 1/5 — Fun, but the controls are poor *2016-10-21* This seemed like a fun game, but the controls are not sensitive enough... no good way to be sure you can stop the character on the square you need, and sometimes impossible to get him when he is standing behind something without taking extra steps in the wrong direction. After walking into a monster three times in a row with just barely a tap, I gave up. Very disappointing, this would have been a fun game if it worked better. ### 1/5 — Can't even figure out how to move *2016-10-18, version 1.2.1* No Tutorial. Can't figure out how to even take a single Step. PASS ### 1/5 — Worst Game Ever *2016-09-20, version 1.2.1* All the graphics are cool and everything BUT,the game doesn't teach you how to play To play you must move back and forth and break the glowing window the ball to move.It's so weird I can't understand it ### 1/5 — Possible Bad Ending *2016-09-20, version 1.2.1* I didn't get there in time... ### 1/5 — Won't even work *2016-09-20* I just downloaded this and every time I try to play it it kicks me back to my homescreen before it even finished loading the "wayforward" screen when I first turn it on. If they could fix this? Then I'd play and see if I liked it. ### 1/5 — So confusing *2016-09-19, version 1.2.1* I don't even know what this game is supposed to be. There's zero tutorial and absolutely no help figuring the objective. I couldn't even figure out the first level. ### 1/5 — Controls? *2015-11-08* It would be nice if it told you how to play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-08* Why isn’t anyone reviewing this anymore ### 5/5 — Fix *2023-10-12* Update this game fix the app icon make it clear the select room dirty white make it black add flashlight on or off for the kid thanks. ### 5/5 — WOW *2019-10-18, version 1.2.1* Not only the game is addicting,but also AWSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Very good! *2019-09-29* My son was playing this game since he was 10 he love it ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2018-10-30, version 1.2.1* It’s lit man no lies ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2018-06-06, version 1.2.1* 限時間全破結局是男生拯救女生，封面換成雙人... 我以為可以用女生玩二週目欸... ### 5/5 — LIT *2017-10-12* Super spiel. Nicht enttäuscht. Fan vom WiiWare teil. Würde gerne mehr von LIT sehen ### 5/5 — 🤔 *2017-06-17* I liked this game but I deleted it and I forgot why but I don't want to re download it ### 5/5 — Please read *2016-12-17, version 1.2.1* This game is so LIT.😅 ### 5/5 — Pleasantly Surprised *2016-11-07* As a fan of the Wiiware title, I was shocked to find out that there was an iOS version almost 7 years later. The cartoony feel was a bit off putting at first because part of LIT's appeal to me was the visuals. But this game stays true to the original by having the same old soundtrack, sound effects, and characters I know and love. If you liked the original, this is a great and faithful recreation for iOS!
