Would be nice to earn points for time remaining after each round. Definitely worth $0.99. ### 4/5 — Très amusant *2010-03-21, version 0* Un peu débile mais amusant. Très bien réalisé techiquement. ### 5/5 — Genialissime ! *2010-02-14, version 0* Une appli parfaite : un graphisme marrant joli et bien fait avec une musique sympa, un jeu pas trop compliqué ni trop simple il faut se creuser un peu la tête sans prise de tête ;) Pour moi 5 étoiles, j'en suis complètement accro !  ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2010-02-06, version 0* This is a real hidden gem in the apps store. This is a must buy game. The only bug I've found so far is that it won't run if you search for it instead of clicking the icon. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2010-02-06, version 0* Super jeu casse-tête comme on en trouvait dans les cafés par le passé. Musique sympa. Plus le niveau s'élève plus la matière grise fonctionne. Bravo ! ### 5/5 — Super petit jeu !! *2010-02-06, version 0* Marche nickel chez moi ### 5/5 — simpas *2010-02-06, version 0* marrant et gratuit, le probleme de l'exit a du etre corriger .. a telecharger bon jeux ### 3/5 — hm. *2010-02-06, version 0* stuerzt leider beim starten ab =/ ### 5/5 — One of the best touch games I've played *2010-02-05, version 0* This is the type of game that the iPhone/itouch was made to play. Simple addicive fun for all ages! ### 5/5 — Get while free!!!! *2010-02-05, version 0* Really fun alot like fling same basic concept good puzzler ### 5/5 — Klasse ! *2010-02-05, version 0* 5 Sterne ### 4/5 — Heute ist die Vollversion gratis! *2010-02-05, version 0* Sie sind die Maus Marv, die Essen liebt. Leider gibt es aber auch Sacha, die Katze, die liebt Essen genauso wie Sie – nur mit dem Unterschied, dass Sie Sachas Leibgericht sind. Um Sacha zu entgehen muss Marv Puzzle lösen, indem er alle Speisen auf dem Bildschirm frisst. Jeder Level läuft gegen den Timer. Wenn der Timer schneller fertig ist, als Marv, verliert Marv ein Leben. Steuern Sie Marv über Ihren Finger, zeigen Sie ihm, wo er hinlaufen muss, um etwas zu Fressen zu finden. Wenn er ein Stückchen Käse, Schokolade oder einen Donut verzehrt hat, wartet Marv auf weitere Anweisungen, aber die Zeit läuft gegen ihn und Sie! Und in späteren Levels gibt es noch festsitzende Gegenstände, die Sie zum Ausweichen zwingen… Nettes Gameplay, tolle Grafik und wenig nbervende Musik. Ein echter Tipp! ### 4/5 — Super jeu,mais ... *2010-02-05, version 0* ... Gros bug lorsqu'on quitte une partie on ne plus accéder de nouveau au jeu sans éteindre complètement l'iPhone. C'est a corriger au plus vite car c'est le jeu parfait pour attendre le métro. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2010-02-05, version 0* Thanks for the great game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dated, dull. *2013-09-25, version 1.4* Not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Do not install!!! *2010-02-06, version 0* It screwed up my iPod when I installed it and now it won't even open. It's supposedly "free", but as they say, nothing is free. I paid dearly for this app that won't even open. Calculating the cost in time and frustration of restoring my iPod and reloading everything back on the pod...yeah...I'd say I payed more than it's worth. Install at your own risk. ### 1/5 — Bug *2010-02-05, version 0* Attention ça bug ### 1/5 — Fun game when it isn't crashing which is most of the time *2009-02-04, version 0* With the latest version of this app it will not run on my iTouch. It crashes every time. This appears to be related to the resume function. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the same issue. Reboots don't help either. The only way to get the app to run is to uninstall reinstall but then the game only works for that session. Upon resuming the app will crash all day long. This is an update: The issue is related to the save names. I deleted my saved game and let the game use the default name of "Marv" and the game resumes with no issue. When I had previouslly been using the name of "Duckee1" the game would not/cannot resume from the last save. ### 1/5 — Good but bad *2009-01-11, version 0* It good game wen I can get it to work but IT KEEPS STOPING!!!!!. What I mean is ocasionly wen I klik continue or new game it just goes to homescreen please get update to improve ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing and shutting down on resume *2008-11-05, version 0* Don't get me wrong, the game itself is great, but after having issues with the lite version, I decided to see if they were fixed in the paid version. Low and behold, EVERY time I try and continue a previous game, the program freezes and shuts down. Even after a hard reboot, the game freezes and I need to uninstall the app and download it again. Again, when resuming a previous game, the same issue. PLEASE fix this!!! ### 2/5 — program freezes *2009-01-12, version 0* the program closes everytime I try to continue my saved game, and sometimes just won't open at all :( this is a beautiful game though and I love playing it.. please fix it! ### 2/5 — Great app needs some improvements *2008-12-22, version 0* Fun, good graphics, and actually cool soundtrack. Only gets 3 stars for 1.99 though. One update would make it easily 4-5 stars and I hAve similar suggestions to other reviews I've seen. Difficulty rises way to quickly for the amount of time they give you to complete a level. For instance you might have gone a ways with 5 lives but then you end up losing them all in 2 levels. Even the ability to replay the level and try again would be better than moving on to a new level. Hope they will update this because it is a good puzzle game with the potential to be great! Updated review: Abandoned by Developer DO NOT BUY ### 3/5 — Ermmmmmm... *2010-03-13, version 0* I got it one day when it was free (yes, the full version!). It kind of like, oh how do I put this, ummm let's just say it -FROZE UP, and deleted itself - and that made me really mad. Like the game, but it could REALLY use a bug fix! ### 3/5 — Fantastic fun! *2010-02-08, version 0* Great game, very, very addictive and a real pleasure to play, one of the app store hidden treasures, also, I'm loving the music, fun and frantic, reminds me very much of Danny Elfman at his most Burtonesque...5 stars all round!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — TOP!!! *2022-01-07, version 1.5.1* Es sind doch immer die einfachen Spiele, die begeistern. Kein umständliche Steuerung ...kurzweilig und gut. Hat irgendwie was von Tetris ### 5/5 — Amazing puzzle game *2016-08-02, version 1.5* Amazing puzzle game ### 5/5 — Great game! *2014-10-10, version 1.4* Please update for iphone 5 and newer! ### 5/5 — Bastante bueno!!!!! *2011-11-23, version 1.4* De colgarse nada de nada. El juego va fluido, sin tirones y NO SE CUELGA. Lo compré a 0,79€ pero lo recomiendo porque engancha y entretiene. ### 5/5 — Facio excelente Appppppp *2011-04-15, version 1.4* Muy buena la recomiendo ampliamente inclusive esta genial para niños, a mis niñas de 4 y 9 años les encanta se la pasan jugando bastante!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Très bon *2010-10-20, version 0* Je passe de superbe moment avec ### 5/5 — This is quite literally the greatest game ever made *2010-10-15, version 0* It's so good it makes me want to end my own life because I am not worthy of existing in the same world as such a masterpiece ### 5/5 — Super *2010-04-26, version 0* Super jeu passe de bons moments pour l'instant ne bug pas. ### 5/5 — Completely unexpected *2010-03-23, version 0* Original: This game was completely unexected. I figured that this would just be another game, but this game is serious fun. If you've ever played any type of Zelda game before, this is nothing like that. Except for the sliding ice puzzles. This is pretty much what this game is and it's so much fun. Give it a try folks. You'll be utterly surprised by this game and you'll enjoy it for a long time. Updated: While I hate to submit a review again so soon, this just has to be said. I have probably over 300 apps, well over the 11 pages apple gives you on your iPod touch and well... This is the ONLY app that constantly crashes on me. I only got the app to work once, which I wrote the original review by. But every time I try to access it again, like I said, it crashes. Fun game but if i can't access it then there's no fun there. Hopefully this will be fixed but reading through the old reviews, this seems unlikely. I really can't recommend this app anymore unless you can get it for free like I did. Update 2: i found out the reason why it crashed for me. It only ever crashed if I searched for it through the search function on my touch. If it's on one of your main 11 pages then it should work fine. The controls work great and overall it's an excellent game. ### 5/5 — Macht gute laune *2010-03-03, version 0* Top spiel Gut gelungen Runterlaaden --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
