What was really great was just how stunning the graphics are. A lot of fun. Looking forward to round 2. ### 4/5 — 動物好きに *2013-10-02, version 1.0* オススメです。面白かった〜 クリア画面で笑。 そういう事ね〜 ### 4/5 — Clever *2013-10-02, version 1.0* I escaped!

Looking forward to the sequel. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 😭 *2023-11-05, version 4* I don’t get it 😭- ### 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. ### 1/5 — Nope. *2014-02-10, version 1.01* This game is horrendous. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2014-01-26, version 1.01* I love escape games but this one stinks the most. It's easy and didn't take me anytime to solve. The name gives you false hope it's going to be well ... "Awesome" but sad to say it was greatly lacking. Unless they add more improvements and more challenging puzzles it's not worth the download. The audience of this game would be suited for young children to help them problem solve. ### 1/5 — Totally appalling *2014-01-10, version 1.01* A truly awful game. At first it seems vaguely promising. Then you realise that you need to spend money for hints....the gameplay is not particularly responsive or interesting. The worst part is that if you leave the game, all progress is lost & you have to start again each time, meaning that you have to go though the tedium again. Quite cross I wasted £1.49 on this. Avoid avoid avoid. ### 1/5 — D o n o t b u y *2013-12-30, version 1.01* It sounded good, but there is no point to the game. It doesn't say what you are trying to do. ### 2/5 — Meh *2013-10-01, version 1.0* Nothing happens when you click things on the screen. ### 3/5 — Idea *2017-07-29, version 1.01* I have no idea how it is but gonna give it A shot so should u ### 3/5 — Fun *2013-10-01, version 1.0* I enjoyed playing the game. I recommend more games like this. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing but *2021-09-28, version 4* It’s a great game but way to easy I would love it if you put like maybe some different levels on it other then that it’s an A++++ for me ❤️‍🔥😍⭐️👍🐺 ### 5/5 — Gamer2tenths *2015-12-06, version 1.01* Really enjoyed this game! ### 5/5 — Good game *2014-05-31, version 1.01* Very good, took an hour or so, but done it.
