I played the original and it was AWESOME! This version DOES NOT disappoint! I've been waiting for someone to bring back REAL games... you actually have to think!!! Can't wait for more.
★★★★★Raine “8-bit Mommy” Zambo· May 4, 2025
Loved this game when it first came out on pc in the 90s. I've been wanting to play it again for years. I wish the touch screen was a little tweaked for a phone game, since it was originally a point and click. Makes it feel a little clunky and sometimes hard to manipulate. But I'm so glad to have access to play this.

This game was awesome but on new phones it won't work as it won't unpack. When it did work there was a glitch with a blue filter over the screen. Would clear up for a split sec when the volume buttons were pressed but goes right back to looking blue and faded. Also, all action buttons are red such as the hand, eye and menu buttons. These problems take the game from hero to zero. FIX THIS ALREADY! (A temp fix 4 color if you EVER get the game going: Go to Dev options and enable force 4x MSAA)
★☆☆☆☆Jonathan Odom· May 22, 2021
"Failed to unpack files" error. Freezes on startup. I can't play the game I just bought, and I'm told the dev has no interest in solving whatever is going on that's causing this. I'm not going to beg you or spend hours waiting on a reply that may or, ay not work. Got a refund and have black listed any other games you have produced. This is unacceptable.

Game won't open due to an error: "unpacking files failed".
