Community Insight:
We love this game! Unfortunately we are having issue with the app adjusting certain iPhone volume settings (Lock Screen and other sounds like send email, messages, etc.). This happens after exiting the app and makes it so the volume can't be adjusted. It doesn't seem to be affecting music and ringer volume, just "sounds and haptics". The solution to the volume issue is to open and close the app, but that doesn't always work, or reboot your phone which always fixes it.
We enjoy a good puzzle. But this game is too difficult, even on the Easy setting. Unless you get a good run of flashlight cards early on, youll find yourself building a growing maze with many open tunnels. We understand the basic strategy here. Try to make loops that shut off escape routes. But unless you get just the right cards at just the right time youll find yourself frustrated. An Easy setting should be just that, easy. Thats not the case here.
This is a great game to play solo when you have time, but unfortunately you cant play in small increments because it loses your progress when you close the app mid-game. Also it could use battery optimization or a low battery setting. Unfortunately, even though we love the concept and its designed well, because we cant play more than a few minutes here and there, and cant save, we ended up deleting the game. If it ever gets updated to allow saves, though, Ill give it more stars and download it again. We think developers really need to always implement a way to save. Not everyone can game a half hour or more at a time. We do appreciate the fair premium price and no ads, thats a huge plus.
