Worth the purchase

I bought this game not expecting much but excited because of the trailer-and boy am I glad! It is so addictive, and time killing. Whenever I’m on a road trip I bust out this game to ply until I get there. If you need something fun and time killing. This is THE game to play! Thank you devs for this game and my time!

Good fun. Dropped 1 star bcz no support for cloud save

Play if you like the difficulty

I'm writing this because I found the game too difficult, so I'm leaving this review because I found the game too difficult for me. But again, if you don't mind the difficulty but this game. I know this review won't apply to everyone, but this is just my opinion, it's too difficult for me.

Fun but one thing…

So I love the game and the concept but the thing I hate is how many times I get trapped. It’s probably just a skill issue though.

No sound at all, buttons unresponsive.

Too bad. Really looked forward to playing this. No sound is a game killer. Buttons unresponsive.
