Good graphics, animations, and puzzles. Different & original! #RECOMMENDED No bugs so far @2 wks on iPhone 8 w/ iOS 12.4.
We love, love this game! Please make more levels.
We love this game. We played it a couple of years ago and am playing again. We give it 4 stars instead of 5 because we have been waiting for another house (more levels) for a long time.
It is just not simple. To break the game, you should think carefully. It makes more fun. We love this game.
Make that level easier or give us a level skip option so we don't have to go through the super tough levels which are levels we really hate.
A great game for kids and adults alike. It starts easy but gets really challenging fast. We would recommend this game to everyone.
We can't put this game down! The graphics are cool, and we love the music, too! It's spooky, but not too much for the kiddos. Totally worth the $2.
Our son and we both enjoy playing working out the puzzles together on this game. The graphics and the music are good and spooky, and it even becomes a bit thrilling when the ghost locks on to your character! A great Halloween game at a great price.
We don't play games but we like having something for the season and we liked the cute pictures so we bought the app. But actually we could play this game and it was fun. We like the music too. This was a good use of two bucks.
Really fun game. Well worth the admission to get in this haunted house. We like how every level/room has its own name. It's a nice touch. The graphics are slick, controls are good, sound is nice. It would be nice to be able to use your coins to upgrade your character. (ie, speed, better flashlights, outfits, strength, ect.) we're looking forward to seeing new houses/levels in future updates. Hopefully before Halloween. Hats off to Armor Games on this one.
Great game! We loved the puzzles and scary sense of excitement the game brings.
Great game – perfect for kids and adults! The levels are quick and addictive. Looking forward to playing more.
Hey! This game was pretty sweet playing it! It has really awesome graphics, maybe among the best we've seen for a game app. The gameplay is also pretty good too. Good to pick up and put down whenever, like on the go. It's a buy.
Enjoyable but controls need some fine tuning. Also would like to seem Gamecenter with this.
Man, we wish they had this even on PC when we were a kid. This game is fun and awesome. Even though its a kids game, it's not quite that easy. Only complaint is movement can sometimes be difficult, like you can't rotate in a circle without standing still which is especially difficult when lighting the orbs. Sometimes the character won't go through the doors. Also since this is a Halloween game it'd be cool candy/treats could be collected as well.
We tap up, character goes down. We tap left, character goes right. We tap back, character goes forward! Clearly a glitched game. Glitched games are deleted.
