Fun.
The random organization of rooms is frustrating. And accidentally touching the right side of screen, with no confirmation, wipes your session too easily.

Addicting game warning!

Been having a hoot and a half playing — easy to understand right away but with great challenges that keep me coming back. I’m finding it perfect for short spurts of play or falling into a rabbit hole — make that a Wumpus cave — of fun. And I love my helpful pet Grimble.

Like the 70s!

Love the text based game that quickly plays like a modern game. I love that I can play without connectivity.
