## What is Please, Don't Touch Anything?

Please, Don’t Touch Anything is a cryptic, brain-racking game about bathroom breaks, screwdrivers and nuclear explosions. 

Covering for a colleague taking a bathroom break, you find yourself in front of a mysterious panel which only component is a red button. And since you’ve clearly been instructed not to touch anything, the only thing you want to do now is pushing the damn button.

Push it and expect to be held liable for any unintended aftermath. And there will be many.

### 2/5 — END16がバグで回収できない

*2026-01-21, version 1.1.5*

制限時間内に緑のバケモノを退治しているのに、何度やってもエンド回収されず、ポスターも貼り出されない。早急に修正してください。

ゲームは面白いのにバグのせいで最終エンディングまで辿り着けないのはゲームとして致命的です。早めの対応をお願いしたいです。

### 5/5 — A great indie

*2026-01-20, version 1.1.5*

It’s a great game i used to play when i was little, and now it feels like a nostalgic look back

### 4/5 — Fun but Bomb game is broke

*2025-04-09, version 1.0.3*

Really fun and unique puzzle but one of them involves hitting the red button to drop bombs. For reasons I don’t understand you have to hit the red button exactly which, when looking where you’re dropping and touching a glass screen, your finger will inevitably shift and then you just end up losing. 

All these puzzle are great example of how you make a fun puzzle game. 

That one game is an example of what you should never do in a puzzle game.

### 1/5 — Please fix boom city

*2025-04-02, version 1.0.3*

On mobile i can’t spam click the red button, so after a while i basically just cant hit all of the buildings because i can’t use all of the 4 bombs

### 5/5 — Love the Game, but… Game Center

*2024-06-12, version 1.0.3*

I’m rating it five stars because I’ve played this game over and over again through the years on multiple platforms and devices.  I still love to come back and replay it, obviously.  The reason I redownloaded it this time, though, was to complete my achievements in Game Center, but none of them are registering that I’ve gotten them.  I would hate to leave a poor review for something that may or may not be something the developer could fix, but just can’t seem to find a solution to the problem.

### 5/5 — City bomb

*2024-05-26, version 1.0.3*

Hello I’ve completed everything except for city bomb I know there probs won’t be an update and this game was hours of fun but if you see this please I beg to fix it

### 2/5 — FIX CITY BOOM

*2024-04-10, version 1.0.3*

This game is designed to be completed relatively quickly. I spent maybe 3 hours total on the 23 puzzles and I have spent at least double that on the city boom mini game alone. It is entirely luck if the button is responsive enough to beat it and I am done trying. Every other puzzle was clever and fun but city boom is not clever or fun. It is broken. Even if it did work it would not belong in this game. Devs please fix it or just remove it, it has ruined this game for me and many others.

### 3/5 — City boom is near impossible on a phone

*2024-03-17, version 1.0.3*

The game fantastic overall but the mini game “city boom” is near impossible and it seems like it would should be easy for the dev to fix. Playing this game on PC is so much easier. Some ideas for city boom:

- make the red button’s response area larger when city boom is active
- slow the plane down slightly 
- allow zoom during city boom 

I beat city boom on my first try with a mouse. It shouldn’t be this hard on a touch screen and seems like it would be low effort to fix.

Other than that, this is a very clever puzzle game.

### 3/5 — City boom is literally nearly impossible

*2024-03-13, version 1.0.3*

I've tried like 100+ times and i still cant do it

### 4/5 — awaiting input 出ない なぜ

*2024-01-11, version 1.0.3*

city boomが無理すぎてiPadに持ち替えたところ、なぜかawaiting input が出ない。
半泣きでcity boomをクリアしやれやれあとはawaiting inputだけかとresetを押し続けること幾数分ほんとうに全然でてこない。思えばiPhoneからiPadに持ち替えて以来見た覚えがない。
awaiting input 、どこに行っちまったんだ。なあ。おれが嫌いになったのか。city boomにばかりかまけて。今になってお前がいないことに気づいた。不甲斐ないおれで悪かったと思っている。なあ、返事をしてくれよ。おれはほんとうはお前だけを愛してたんだ。わかってくれるだろ。愛してるんだよ。awaiting input ……。

それ以外は楽しかったので買ってよかったです。
お前もそう思うよな、awaiting input。
