Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Exactly as the title says, we like this game, its a good and fun time waster, dont sleep on this game. Seriously, we highly recommend! We just wish they updated this game more often.
If your also experiencing the flashing, reinstall the game. Works well after.
Great game no glitches for us on the iPhone 11 worth the dollar add lot more content and helps the developer.
Game has some new features now like showing you how much work will progress you to what, and overworking is a neat way to keep the game fresh. Easily the best time waster we have.
This game is the point of our existence. From the pointless meaning of the game, to the addictiveness of the game itself buy it its actually pretty good and subscribe to PewDiePie.
A simple but genius premise and a great sense of humor.
10 out of 10 would meme or play again.
We love this game very much but sometimes when we get combos in it, it will start to glitch out and we doesn't give us it. We don't if it's what we're doing but as far as we know it won't work,.
Charming and a pretty good time passer by.
Its no Fortnite, but it serves its purpose and is fairly fun for the price range. Great find.
Just download this, don't even ask. Really cool game.
Definitely not a game for kids, but it's awesome. It's worth the moneys.
We're so happy that it now works on our device and we've been playing it quite a lot. Great time killer and addicting :).
Loving the fact it shows you what youll become but the addition of stamina is a TERRIBLE design decision for this game. We wish there was no stamina meter like before the update.
It used to work, but now it just doesnt. The Lite version still runs well. This is frustrating because we bought the full version, and now it glitches out on us.
Fun game but not worth the money.
Totally kills the fun of finding out what youll become! We played this game 8 years ago freshman year and it was perfect back then! You can just see what youll become and thats no fun. The mystery is what keeps it fun.
Oh nothe game.its broken (update: still broken 08/24/22.
We play this game when we're bored and we love it and it is practically never ending.
We play this game when ever we're bored. There is so much to complete.
We saw this on Matthias's YouTube channel we like it it's cool.
We had the free version and then made the actual game free.
We used to play the original version of this a long time ago and we loved it. Now we have the same problem as some of the other people here, we can look at the extras but the play button does nothing.
If you are playing on a phone or iPod do not buy this game, it says it is compatible for the iPhone and iPod but it doesn't even work, it just flashes to a new screen, what a waste of 2 dollars.
When we got this game we bought the full version and it didn't give us it, now we find out that everybody's getting the full version for free! We want a refund.
It is limited in the free version but it is very fun anyway, could rack up hours on this game.
This is one of the fun game we ever play.
Now we know that there is a full version of the game but we've got every single combination besides police, so if the dev is still working on the free version then maybe you could add a bit more characters but other wise it is pretty fun and addictive.
The game did NOT register that we had bought the full version of the game,we restarted,and Re-downloaded the app,but no change. If you're planning to buy the full version,we suggest that you wait for the game to be updated before you try to,other than that,this game is an excellent time killer,and we would recommend.
We like this game with many choices it was difficult to remember some choices to get to a specific role. This redux changes it to be much better in that one problem. The downside is theres too much crap changing with the different choices making it hard to plan a next stage. Second the full purchase of the game will not recognize no matter how hard we restore the purchases. Plz fix it and allow us to turn off the flash and the wheel so we.
Can you just make another one that has all the choices so we can pay and play it's not that hard .-.
How do you start the game we can't even get out of the lobby to start with we mean how show instructions we know though that your supposed to press an o so mighty work button so.
We spent 1.99 for the full version of the game. It said "Your purchase was a success!" But, guess what? It didn't give us the full version. We closed and re-opened the game a bunch of times, and we didn't have full version at all. So, like we said, don't buy, and GIVE ME A REFUND.
We're a big fan of this game, we played the original as well but the redux version doesn't register that we bought the full game. The was supposed to be fixed but still isn't working right. We plan on getting a refund and deleting the app until it works properly.
Whenever we press start it just reloads and puts a new person on the screen but it won't let us play the actual game.
Doesn't acknowledge the fact we unlocked the full game, no matter how we many times we download/re download.
Can you make the buttons more sensitive.
