### 4/5 — Cool, Fun Game

*2023-01-01, version 1.1.3*

Been good except for a bug with the spike blocks not passing through one-way gates depending on the circumstances. This bug makes getting a star on level 53 impossible.

### 3/5 — Исправьте ошибку

*2022-10-19, version 1.1.3*

53 уровень невозможно пройти

### 3/5 — Fun Game but Level 53 is BROKEN

*2022-07-29, version 1.1.3*

This is a fun game that I enjoyed playing, but level 53 is broken and can’t be beaten in 6 turns like the game requires. The spike block doesn’t pass the gate that’s blocking it until after the thief is within 3 blocks of it.

### 4/5 — Amazing, Bug on Lvl 18 of Castle

*2022-05-13, version 1.1.1*

Your game is amazing and the concept used for the game is very good. Unfortunately, I’m not able to do lvl 18 of castle because one of the arrow block doesn’t stop me when I go the opposite direction.

### 3/5 — 🫤

*2022-05-12, version 1.1.1*

### 2/5 — Непроходимая

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-10-04, version 1.1.3*

Blocks won’t move through one-way spaces when the player doesn’t move a space or more. It makes level 53 impossible to star, and the guide emphasizes the problem.

The completed jungle achievement also appears to be bugged.

### 5/5 — Love the game but there is a bug

*2025-06-01, version 1.1.3*

The game is pretty good and challenging at the same time but there is a glitch where having the two non spiked squares on the path first try make it impossible to get to the mini game by getting a star on level 53. I like this game though

### 5/5 — Clever and engaging!

*2023-05-02, version 1.1.3*

This is such a well made and exceptionally well thought out puzzle game. It’s very quick and immediate to play, and the stages a really cleverly designed. Plus it’s nice and responsive… swiping your poor little thief from on spot to another feels nice and snappy.

Also, unlike some puzzle games, it never frustrated me. In fact, it’s fairly relaxed in the sense that it’s up to you whether you want to just try to reach the exit without worrying about how many moves you take, or whether you want to try to do it in fewer moves to earn a star. And the ads aren’t too frequent, and they can be skipped after a few seconds, or you can remove them altogether for a few bucks.

Definitely worth checking out!

### 5/5 — \/

### 5/5 — Excellently executed

### 5/5 — Fun, challenging game

*2021-01-13, version 1.1.0*

A nice little game that will really get you thinking hard trying to work out how to get the star on every level and entertain you for a while. For a free game it’s amazing.
