### 3/5 — Good Game, BUT

*2026-02-18, version 1.05*

I’m tired of paying for the game. This is the third time I have had to buy it.

### 1/5 — Glitch-can’t play-don’t waste $$$$

*2025-06-07, version 1.05*

Love the game until you realize the app team has bugs they are choosing not to fix. At 1st you get past the 1st glitch and you think you are okay.  Then a few levels later you can’t get past due to failure to load.

### 1/5 — Can’t play past level 20

*2025-04-17, version 1.05*

Glitch with ghosts, receives error messages, should get a refund.

### 1/5 — VORSICHT!!!!!!! NICHT KAUFEN!!! DAS SPIEL IST UNBRAUCHBAR

*2025-02-06, version 1.05*

Ist sehr schade, dass das Spiel nicht mehr unterstützt wird und dadurch nicht mehr spielbar ist. Nimmt es aus Apple Store raus. Sonst sehe ich es als Missbrauch an.

### 1/5 — Bugs do not buy

*2025-01-05, version 1.05*

Bought the game. But it dies not properly Start. Error Messages. Path not found, strikes do not load. Very bad programmed

### 1/5 — Error

*2024-11-24, version 1.05*

Level 20, says somethings won’t load, cannot complete level

### 2/5 — Won’t Download

*2024-08-17, version 1.05*

I was enjoying this game, which I purchased, until stage 2 level 20. It will not load just keeps clicking off. I’ve tried reloading it from scratch but no joy.  What makes it even more annoying is there is no available information on who to contact to resolve it. I’ve bought a game I cannot play 😡

### 1/5 — Fault makes it unplayable from Level 20

*2024-05-10, version 1.05*

Does this amount to fraud? They take your money then the game won’t work because it isn’t downloading the appropriate sprites. They know this, people have reported it and nothing has been done. Yes, to take people’s money when they know it’s unplayable, I guess it probably is fraudulent. At least in my mind it is. 😡😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Northern tales.

*2024-04-22, version 1.05*

Love all these time management games. The best are these old ones

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase

*2024-04-20, version 1.05*

The game itself is great. However, at level 20 it stops loading and you can play on for a couple of levels by clicking on empty spaces that don’t have characters. At level 24ish, you can’t even play at all. Can’t contact customer support.
