Long-winded tutorial
The tutorial is very slow, with no option to skip it and also goes through the entire button layout, including the incredibly obvious ones like how the Options menu lets you customise options.
At least the implementation of Wumpus World is otherwise alright.

Not enough womp

Fun! Fun! Fun!
Nice implementation of the Hunt The Wumpus classic game!
Funny and cute
This is a funny game and very cute, not for little kids but more classic game lovers
Great app! Please consider adding the Classic text option to make it even better!
Wumpus is a VERY old game. I remember first playing it on a System/360 teletype in the mid-1970’s over a 300-baud modem, using the old Ma-Bell telephone you only now see in the movies, and a coupler. The teletype was hosted on a time-share--it could take up to a minute to deliver a reply once you entered an action or room to move to. At the time an entire classroom of kids crowded around a single typewriter that, so that each student would have a chance to enter a single command. The response was not displayed on a screen, but printed onto a rolling sheet of paper, much like a dot-matrix printer works today. How things have changed!
You’ve done a fantastic job of visualizing this game in the iOS app. But to get the true sense of how this game was played, the text version really triggers the imagination—like listening to classic rock music on vinyl played by a turntable. It’s also more challenging as you have to visualize the grid yourself! Unless you’ve actually played the game this way, I suspect you will be challenged to appreciate it. I’ve read online that there’s been a resurging interest in Wumpus lately, and wouldn’t be surprised if in some part it’s due to those who played this game in its original form and are now rediscovering it. It is widely considered to be one of the first true computer games as it was released before graphics were available, and among the most advanced logic-wise of its time.
I’m thinking adding the text version is not a stretch, since you already have the logic built into the game (notwithstanding the Classic/dodecahedron version as you probably know is more difficult to program graphically and to visualize). If you decide to offer the text version as an Option (which can be offered as a toggle in the Options section, call it the “Classic (Text)" version), I will gladly offer the 5th star….along with my thanks for the memories!
