### 5/5 — Great

*2023-08-25, version 1.13*

The game is really easy, once you memorize all the moves. It increases difficulty at level 10 and I didn’t expect you to have to run back down. 10/10 I love your games

### 5/5 — I have been looking for a game like this for a long time

*2023-01-05*

It has turn based movement, enemy patterns, and random generation. Most roguelikes have a leveling up system, so this is a good change of pace and I like it a lot!

### 5/5 — Charming short puzzler; perfect time filler

*2020-10-10, version 1.13*

It’s easy going in, much harder to leave successfully and winnable often enough to keep trying but rarely enough to be satisfying when accomplished.

The level of detail is amazing for such a minimalist game. This one will have a home on any iPhone/iPad I ever own.

### 1/5 — Booooo

*2017-03-28, version 1.13*

Once you beat all the levels, that's it.
Don't buy it.

### 5/5 — More of a logic puzzle than a roguelike.

*2016-12-29*

This game is more of a logic puzzle than a roguelike: there are no items to collect, no levels to gain, no meaningful randomness of any sort. Basically, you know exactly what to expect whenever you enter a level, and it's a matter of navigating your way through the space of possibilities to find the way to the next puzzle.

I found this mechanic refreshing and very enjoyable. The game is not long, but the $0.99 price tag is spot-on. Worth the money and I look forward to the developer's next game.

### 3/5 — There's not much to it

*2016-07-22*

The game looks amazing graphically in my opinion, but the game play is just the same thing over and over again. There's no progression really, no unlocking stuff, it's basically just moving around strategically.

### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️

*2016-02-06*

An extremely challenging, extremely fun game. I love it! 👍🏻👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️

### 1/5 — Boring

*2015-12-10, version 1.13*

Waste of time and money purchasing this game. Would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Boring waste of time

*2015-09-03, version 1.13*

Charming style, that the only good thing I can say about this. Gameplay is painfully boring and lacks any form on innovation. Don't waste you time.

### 5/5 — Great game and concept

*2015-08-06*

This is what a real game is. A genius game idea with no frills or distractions. Simple but challenging. This is what gaming was before addictive and manipulative techniques became the norm. A sole developer with good ideas makes the best games.
