### 2/5 — Wont acknowledge that I already purchased

*2021-05-25, version 1.0.2*

I bought this game on my old ipad but after transferring to a new ipad it kicks me out every time I say I have already purchased it. Very disappointed, particularly as this is the only game to do so.   It's worth playing twice but only if you don!t have to pay twice.

### 5/5 — Surface 6

*2020-03-04, version 1.0.2*

This game has no In-App purchases!!! which makes it a wonderful game.  Graphics, storyline & music are nice.   It is a great game.

### 1/5 — Do Not Buy It.

*2019-09-30, version 1.0.2*

This game no longer works and should not be for sale.
You can't finish it and unfortunately it will never be updated.

### 2/5 — Problems with tap accuracy

*2019-09-02, version 1.0.2*

Some puzzles took many attempts to tap an item (I had to tap the same spot over and over until the game “accepted” that I was tapping the item). I had to ship one game because it wouldn’t let me tap and move an item. (When I skipped, the game moved the item I had been trying to tap.)

### 5/5 — Für sehr gut befunden

*2019-06-04, version 1.0.2*

Alles da was ein Wimmelbild für mich haben muss. 👍🏻

### 2/5 — Game of the Gods

*2019-02-05, version 1.0.2*

Good game, but had to quit too many puzzles because of the tapping issues. Way too glitchy.

### 4/5 — Interesting

*2018-12-26, version 1.0.2*

I loved the first Surface, with its steampunk vibe, but they have completely gone away from that. This was an enjoyable game, but I felt it was shorter than I would have liked. Varied hops, puzzles ranged from easy to medium. Great storyline but I don’t think they fleshed it out enough, could’ve been better. Still, for innovative story I give 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Creepy concept - Well executed

*2018-11-29, version 1.0.2*

Lots of good mini games, fun and varied HOPs.  Some irritating issues with repeated tapping required.  Storyline easy to follow, not a lot of backtracking.  Very good visuals and sound.  The bonus chapter was very appropriate and pulled the story together beautifully.

### 1/5 — Greed

*2018-09-18, version 1.0.2*

Big Fish continues to be greedy. Less than 5 minutes into game, they demand a review. Too bad since Elephant games are typically excellent

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2018-08-18, version 1.0.2*

I really hate that I spent any amount of money on this game. Very poorly made. Had to tap multiple times on an object and considering that there are timed mini games I often lost or skipped them altogether. Uninteresting storyline.
