Aged very well

Played this game when I was a kid has aged super well

Cured arachnophobia!

Way back when …. I discovered this game and LOVED it. I swear for immersion therapy it worked great- I really wanted to complete the game even though the “spiders” terrified me … and so I stuck with it! Now I can at least look at a spirder irl without screaming as if it were attacking me even though it is just sitting there surviving lol. About the game— it truly is a game I would still be playing today if my device would let me! I love the premise and story and it is really is alot of fun:) Maybe one day I will find my old ipad and I bet it will still be on it to play! Ty devs for a great game:)

Wonderful game play and experience

Great game wish they made sequel or something. Type of game you will play a few times per year after year.

Predatory tactics by a wannabe mobile arcade monopoly “gameclub”

The game is listed as “free” on the app store, but it isn’t. As a pathetic attempt to advertise their subscription service for a handful of mobile games, they paywall practically the entirety of the game.

Terrible.

Because of game club you have to pay a subscription to play it and in my opinion having to pay a subscription just to play a game is already a terrible idea but also, they pretty much waste your time if you aren’t willing to pay because there is no obvious warning that you will have to be part of game club and even once you download it, it only tells you that after the opening cut scene if they wanted to make people pay to play it, they either should’ve just made a paid game or at least put a warning so people who aren’t willing to pay aren’t just going to end up wasting their cellular data and time downloading something. Another thing they could’ve easily done was just do what some other games do witches have a free version where you can only play a bit of the game but it’s enough to let you know if you want to pay the subscription rather than doing what they ended up doing, which is just a bad idea.
