### 1/5 — Деньги сняли- игру не разблокировали

*2025-10-21, version 1.0.0*

Не ведитесь- не оплачивайте полную версию, поиграть все равно не удастся .

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2023-10-28, version 1.0.0*

Paid for the full version of the game and now every time I open the game the screen is all black and no sound. All the other games work. 

And it’s funny how it stops working after I pay the $6.99. I want my money back!!!!

### 4/5 — Good but didn’t save payment

*2023-08-30, version 1.0.0*

Good game, love the storyline and characters. But I paid for the full version in-game, but uninstalled it at one point because I didn’t use it that much and didn’t want space taken up on my phone. When I re-installed, I saw that my in-app purchase hadn’t saved, so I pressed “restore purchase” and it said it couldn’t find a purchase. Is this a glitch and it can be fixed, or do I have to pay for it again and leave it on my phone? Please answer ;-;

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-05-08, version 1.0.0*

*2022-01-09, version 1.0.0*
