Community Insight:
The game is pretty good and challenging at the same time but there is a glitch where having the two non spiked squares on the path first try make it impossible to get to the mini game by getting a star on level 53. We like this game though.
Been good except for a bug with the spike blocks not passing through one-way gates depending on the circumstances. This bug makes getting a star on level 53 impossible.
This is a fun game that we enjoyed playing, but level 53 is broken and cant be beaten in 6 turns like the game requires. The spike block doesnt pass the gate thats blocking it until after the thief is within 3 blocks of it.
Your game is amazing and the concept used for the game is very good. Unfortunately, Im not able to do lvl 18 of castle because one of the arrow block doesnt stop us when we go the opposite direction.
We love this game. So fun, challenging, uncomplicated… Now we just keep looking for anything else thats similar… Endlessly wandering the App Store… Just us, ourselves and our raised expectations… Make more please.
Loved the game! Beat it within an hour or two, but it was all very enjoyable. Intuitive and a great way to stretch our mind.
A puzzle game that is simple to learn but challenging to master. Levels build on concepts used before and become more challenging overtime. Love the graphics (reminds us of the original Nintendo NES) and the music background add the to fun of the game without being obnoxious. We like that the levels are quick so you can play as long as you want. Strongly recommend this puzzle game.
We rarely pay for ad free versions of apps but we just had to for this one. So much fun and weirdly intense.
This game is SUPER! We like that each level doesnt take too long so that if in just killing time for a couple of minutes we have something to do. The art and concept are awesome and the fact that you have to die to win is really cool. A must pay if you care about things that are good.
This game is super deece. Has obstacles and concepts that Ive never seen before. We recommend it.
Love this game. The design is so fun and appealing(: So easy to pick up and just dive right in. Love the music too. Ive never played a game where you have to plan your deaths strategically in order to win. Love it(:.
Fun game that starts out simple and gets more and more complex every level until you really start thinking about your every move.
Love the retro vibe. Very fun to play.
Amazing game. However there are a couple bugs related to the coin grab mini-game. First, the best time isn't persistent. It resets every time the game is fully quit. Second, 0.6 seconds are added every time it is finished. Third, the game center leaderboard doesn't show times properly. Xy.z seconds ends up being shown as x.y seconds with no rounding. Lastly, when it finishes, the retry button doesn't work. There's also an achievement bug; we can't get it to register that we've completed the jungle.
We finished the game but didnt get the jungle achievement.
Sorry we know it seems rather harsh to give it a 1 star but we cant even play the game, we try opening it and it just takes us back to our Home Screen.any suggestions.
This is a fun game with good graphics and gameplay, but there are way too many ads. We understand that the game is free and you CAN pay to remove the ads, but there are far too many. We can understand one after every few levels. But after every level – or when you retry a level? Thats a bit much.
Hello we kissy downloaded this game but and the second level when Im one swipe away from getting the gem it kicks us out.
Wish there was a paid version because the ads are infuriating.
Crashes every time we try to complete the first level.
This app is tomb of the mask but it attempts to introduce new concepts. Problem is its way worse than Tomb of the mask. The levels arent very fun and you get a 30 second add that you cant skip every other level. Dont waste your time with it.
Quick to pickup. Challenging enough to be engaging. Music is great. One thing is for sure. This poor thief has stolen our heart.
Great game with an interesting mechanic.
This is a extremely well crafted mobile game, enjoying every minute of it.
