8 of 15Concert scene is broken
I’m sure it’s a good game when the sound does work, but it doesn’t on my iphone :(
I’m unable to play the game because it keeps crashing. Shame, I was enjoying it until I reached a point in the adventure that I can not get further due to a bug that crashes the game.
Game is excellent and still fun to play today. The only reason this is a 1 review is simply because the game has not been updated to work on iOS15 M1 iPads. It just crashes and becomes unplayable
This game can’t be played in landscape and is quite stuffed in portrait. Refund please.
Save your money. This game is worthless as far as puzzle games go. It could have promise if it wasn’t so glitchy. The controls take some getting used to but even then they have their quirks. The most irritating thing in the game is the short time limit that you have to get to the next objective. It would be nice to be able to explore and talk the characters without you getting arrested so quickly.
which is constantly. it’s really frustrating.
I have no idea how to play this. Keep the $5.00. I’ve learned to never pay for a game again
