I think this is the first time I have been asked to do something like this. So I read the policy. From what I can tell the game is data grabbing a lot especially everything it can about other apps and social media usage. The policy wanted you to agree to let them invade your privacy. No way! I deleted the game as soon as I read the policy. ### 1/5 — Shady *2020-10-22, version 2.0.18* When you launch the game, after the title screen, this app pastes whatever you have copied from other apps into itself. There’s no reason for this game to snoop around what you have copied. So shady. ### 3/5 — Fun puzzler with one major flaw *2020-10-06, version 2.0.18* I really enjoyed this game from beginning to (almost) end, and would happily give it five stars were it not for a major issue. I think I'm at the very end of the game, but every time I select the last level the game crashes to the home screen on my iPhone 8+. I was hoping the issue would be quickly fixed when I first experienced it, but it's been months now and still no fix in sight. I do still recommend the game because what I was able to experience was fun and challenging, but with the caveat that it's not currently beatable. ### 5/5 — 🤗 *2020-05-19, version 2.0.18* Love it!! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2020-04-22, version 2.0.18* Muy buen juego y gracias por colaborar en estos tiempos de cuarentena ### 5/5 — Good fun game but needs more plot. *2020-04-07, version 2.0.18* It has just enough mystery to make me want a reason for what is happening. ### 1/5 — This is a demo for a pay2play not a free game *2018-04-03, version 1.0* The first two stages take about 5-15 minutes to complete then you hit a paywall just as they hint at a main mechanic of the game. ### 2/5 — I will NOT purchase iap's *2018-03-23, version 1.0* No matter how good your game is - I will not purchase more levels. This should never bee what an iap is used for. Thank you for the 2 free levels. If you want me to purchase the full game - make a full game price, but not as an iap. I have gotten scr**ed with iaps and never again. ### 2/5 — Nice game with pretty graphics *2018-03-05, version 1.0* But the designers seem to like their graphics too much. There is no reason to exit to the level menu between each puzzle. That vine arm pulling the kid into the next puzzle level is cool the first time but is super annoying for the next 8 times for that set and 8 more times for each set after that. Also, a pet peeve of mine that the designers fell into doing is when you are given a certain number of free things in the beginning (in this case hints) and then immediately afterward you are forced to use them by not being able to play the game unless you spend the freebie because you are not allowed to click anywhere else besides where the developer is pointing to. So in this game you are given 5 hints and then you are forced to use 2 of them leaving the player with 3. Now, you could say, “the designer is giving you a net of 3 hints.” But I’d much rather be given only 3 to start and then be forced to use 2 but still keep the 3 given. It’s a really annoying element that leaves the player with a feeling of being had. Yes, the end result is still the same, 3 hints, but psychologically the experience is much different. Another pet peeve is to tease a game as free and to then make in app purchases necessary. Either go full free or a price from the start. Pay to play is a practice taking over the gaming world and it is a terrible practice. If you have a product worth a price then give it one from the start. Giving a tease means the product isn’t good enough to stand on its own and therefore must rely on b.s. pricing tactics. Besides these experiences, the app presents is a nice little puzzle game. 4 stars for ingenuity of the puzzle style, 3 stars for application, and 1 star for being b.s. and teasing the game to only end up needing in app purchases. So 2 stars on the whole. ## Frequently asked questions about Samsara Game ### What is Samsara Game about?
