Good bits but buggy

Great game. There are a few bugs like the chasers getting stuck in random places when re-spawning.
Most frustrating is that level 29 is incorrect and impossible to complete.

Good game

Great game to kill time.

Addictive, Challenging, Not Broken

This version of the classic game load runner is ridiculously addictive. Some people have said that it is broken. It is not. You’re supposed to fall through the floors at times. Some people say the levels cannot be beat. You just have to be smart enough to beat them, or do what I did and look on YouTube. It is insanely fun!
