Ratings and reviews

It's a good game, nice time killer and easy to play. I would definitely recommend and look forward to seeing it progress. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I tried to change my in-game Alias, which is permanent, but when I selected my name and saved it nothing changed. So now I'm stuck with the random name they give new accounts. EDIT: The developer quickly patched the issue mentioned above and now my name is set. Thank you Dev! Updating to 5 stars

The game is a great time filler. I definitely enjoy the breach puzzles. I would like to see more levels added to extend the game play. One major note, once you complete the game, go infinite the game lags and freezes, making it hard to reset.

Annoying RNG opposition -- RNG seems programmed to cheat/thwart vs challenge as difficulty rises. Buggy. Minimized app and when returning, dimmed screen to barely visible & unable to navigate UI. No desire to invest any more time than the few hours I already wasted. Novelty has worn off...
