App doesn't work *2014-07-16, version 2.0.1* Looks like an interesting game but when you get to the part of exclamation points on top of players head you can only touch girl and then screen goes black. I tried closing app out to see if that would help. Nothing. Attempting now to reinstall app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2014-07-09, version 2.0.1* I clicked through the story, then when I got to the part with the exclamation points on their heads, it would only let me click on the girl. Then when I clicked yes, it was just a dark screen. I could still hear music, but nothing happened. I really would have liked to play this game. Hope you can fix this problem. I'm on an iPad mini. ### 1/5 — Not worth the stars until it is fixed. *2014-07-09, version 2.0.1* I am only giving this app one star because I can not post this review without it. It is not worth any stars because I can not even start the game past the opening scene. I am having the same trouble as the other reviewer about only being able to touch of the girl's exclamation mark and then a black screen coming on and not advancing to the next steps of the game. Please fix this game so I can try it and change my rating. Thanks. ### 2/5 — I'm not sure... *2014-07-03, version 2.0.1* It seems REALLY cool and awesome, but it won't work on my iPad mini! I click through the story part and then there are 4 people with the exclamations marks above their heads. I can only click the girl! Is it suppose to be like that? And then once I click the yes button to play the girls story, it's goes to a black screen. Maybe a dark blue, not sure but the point is that it doesn't work. I hear the sounds but never see any picture. Please fix that. It's seems like a cool game. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2014-05-27, version 2.0.0* Fun app with lot of information ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-05-08, version 2.0.0* This game is awesome, I'm mexican so I love things that are about Mexico, and I just want to say that this game is awesome, I love it... ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2014-05-03, version 2.0.0* This game is amazing the graphics are excellent the storyline is engaging. It is highly educational and makes archaeological terms and ideas accessible! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2012-12-11, version 1.0.1* This game is great!!
