### 1/5 — What?!

*2026-07-29*

Can’t believe so many people gave this 5 stars!
If you like mindless button-bashing without clues then this is the game for you!  Even the tutorial makes no sense. It’s “do this, then this, then this” without any indication of how you should know what to do. Why do you pull the handle to the 5th notch? Where is the clue for this? Why are the buttons pressed in that order, etc etc. 
also nothing to tell you when you’ve correctly solved a puzzle. 
Gameplay mechanics are clunky. 
Don’t waste your time. There are far better free puzzle games. Graphics aren’t even all that great. 
Deleted.

*2026-01-10*

I am currently enjoying the app. Although sometimes I feel there is something wrong with the app but it is a matter of stepping out of the box and using logic. At my age I purchased the $8.00 version. I enjoy these types of entertainment because, as far as I am concerned, it stimulates my brain cells. Only complaint, I spend more time on it then I should. My life is slowly seeping through my hands like grains of sand and so I am enjoying he heck out of it. Thank you. Your staff of talented developers is beyond outstanding. People of this generation do not understand the time, effort, frustration, and dedication it takes to eliminate bugs and develop these games. I applaud you with much thanks and sincere appreciation.
