### 3/5 — What! Start over??

*2025-01-06, version 1.1.4*

I hate that if you don’t finish a level you have to start all over again.  Makes it’s not worth it like you totally wasted how ever long it took to get to where you were and now you have to start over and do it all again.  That is total Bull sht.

### 5/5 — Where’s the walk through

*2023-07-18, version 1.1.4*

No link

### 4/5 — Variety of rooms and puzzles

*2021-12-02, version 1.1.4*

Enjoying this app!

### 5/5 — Completed

*2021-03-26, version 1.1.4*

It’s very good, pity you go back a level when you return to play but otherwise very good

### 4/5 — Enjoyable game

*2021-02-19, version 1.1.4*

I am finding this game enjoyable but frustrating at times as can be a bit difficult but does make you think so not boring.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2021-01-01, version 1.1.4*

I’m quite enjoying it so far.

### 4/5 — Great game....but so frustrating

*2020-12-15, version 1.1.4*

Why can’t this game save as it goes along, although I am enjoying immensely it’s frustratingly annoying that I complete a level, only to find when I pick it up again, I have to do it all over again. I really want to finish this as it’s so good, but not if I have to restart every level when I come bs k to it, as can only spend a certain amount of time on it as I have other things to do. So please make it save the level you have completed and opened the door.

### 4/5 — Mysterious palace escape

*2020-11-21, version 1.1.4*

Good so far.

### 4/5 — Great Puzzle game

*2020-11-09, version 1.1.4*

Would have given it 5 stars, but when you leave the game it doesn’t save your level you have to replay the level you paused again before you can progress.  The puzzles are reasonable, and I only needed the hints 5 times, and watching an advertisement or two is a small price to pay for the entertainment

### 4/5 — Enjoy

*2020-11-04, version 1.1.4*

Fun and challenging but not so hard you want to stop playing.
