### 1/5 — Too hard

*2020-04-06, version 4*

At first this game seemed promising but after like two minutes it gets terrible. At the start you need to enter a ten digit code and you have to pay for the hints! It could literally be anything! Please tell me how to get past the code! Please do not download this app it wasted a lot of time.

### 5/5 — BEST escape game on the App Store

*2014-05-09, version 1.01*

This game is so much fun! It has great graphics and amazing music to go with it. Can't wait to play another one of your games! :)

### 4/5 — A lot is here

*2014-04-03, version 1.01*

There is a lot of potential with this game. The beautiful art for starters. And the puzzles are fun too! I got stuck at the part when you just have a phone battery and you have unlocked the first key lock. 
A few areas where it can improve are the direction of the story I star the game and it tells me to fix the for and a leak but you do not do any of that at the start. Seems weird. And why on earth are there two keylock I was expecting some sort of reward when I got the clue to got the right password. But no it prompted me with another key code. That event of not getting a reward after all the work I did kind of left a sour taste and then the fact that I got stumped right after that didn't help.
But all that being said, I know this is this teams first game and I am impressed. I can see them grow and develop into a great indie game dev team! Good luck!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

### 5/5 — The best
