“an incredibly lazy mobile port of an incredibly badly made game sold for an incredible price (5 bucks is crazy). there's no full screen option, can't turn off the timer, can't replay levels, and so on. if somebody released the same thing…”
“This is not a bad game but it isn't one that I can recommend. + Lots of puzzles to solve. + This game is probably good for expanding your vocabulary. - No clue system in place. - Basically impossible for people without a large vocabulary…”
