Bad bad and more bad

Bought the full version and it wanted us to pay. Couldn’t play it without paying $10. But when I could play it before that happened,levels were awesome and it was a great game.

Pretty good!

Great storyline, but somewhat predictable what the next move is/where to go in a scene. Very enjoyable, and worth the money.

Yikes

I wouldn’t give this any stars I’ve had this game for years and now being told I’ve never bought the full game I’m not buying it again cause it’s not worth 10$

Awful

Terrible service. I have purchased several of these games over the years and now none of them work. Keeps telling me that no purchase has been found for my account. Big Fish and Apple are no help 😔
